Gooey “German” Pumpkin Skillet Cake

[layers_of_eli]

Y'all. This cake is INSANE. And it's easy. And you just have, have, have to make it. It’s a moist, simple pumpkin skillet cake with a layer of gooey, rich toasted pecan and coconut filling ladled over top. Mike and I ate it with ice cream (duh) and a totally excessive drizzle of caramel sauce, swooning with every bite. You’re going to LOVE it.

Would you believe, we still don't have a cast iron pan?!

Given how much I know you cook, girl, I do not believe it! LOL. I love mine so much that I've gone a little cast iron crazy... ;)

I knowww! We have talked about getting one for ages. I guess we just don't want one that's teeny tiny, and any of the decent sized ones are pretty pricey. We did get a new wok last week in the Chinatown section here! Our old one was long overdue to be replaced. Sad! Well, a cast iron skillet is still on the list. Maybe we can splurge this Christmas. :)

I know what you mean! I was able to find a pretty reasonable 10-inch Lodge brand skillet (at Williams-Sonoma, no less, which is usually so expensive). I'd recommend looking at Lodge when you're ready -- I really like mine!

Yes ma'am, I will make this! I am laughing in disbelief at just how much fat this has in it, but hey. I'll share with the neighbors!

I wouldn't worry about the fat. The carbs, yes, but not the fat. The carbs are scary enough :)

But those are things not to worry about until AFTER you eat a piece of two :D

Thanks!

That looks yummy! I just made a banana coconut cake with a version of this topping (my in test broiled version).

Thank you! YUM to your banana cake -- that sounds divine.

That looks yummiful! But my son is allergic to nuts, and my daughters hate coconut, so it would just be my hubby and I eating it--a bad idea (le sigh).

But wait--my parents love German chocolate cake topping. I could make this for Thanksgiving and bring it to their house!

Now that's problem-solving! LOL! Love it. Thank you :) I hope you enjoy it!

Oh. Goodness. That looks DELISH. I'm definitely going to have to try it!

THANKS FOR THE SHARE!
