Pumpkin Spice Latte Cake

🧂 Ingredients

• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 2 cups sugar
• 3 eggs
• 3 cups flour
• 2 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1/4 tsp ground clove
• 1/2 tsp ground ginger
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 15 ounce can pumpkin puree
• 2/3 cup toffee pieces for garnish
• 1 cup chopped pecans
• 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
• 1 tbsp instant coffee crystals
• 3/4 cup butter

  room temperature
• 6 cups confectioners sugar
• 1 tsp salt

Instructions

• 1 Combine oil and sugar in mixing bowl beat until combined then add in eggs one at
  a time, beat on medium high until light and fluffy.
• 2 Measure flour, add soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, ginger, and salt to flour and
  stir in. Slowly add dry ingredients to wet ingredients. Taking time to scrape
  the side of the bowl once or twice. Continue to blend on slow speed, when dry
  ingredients are completely incorporated gradually add in pumpkin, scrape sides
  of bowl and beat on medium for another minute.
• 3 Pour batter in to greased pans, bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes until
  toothpick comes out clean when poked in center of the cake. Allow to cool before
  frosting and layering cakes with Coffee Buttercream (recipe below).
• 4 Add instant coffee to coffee, stir until crystals have dissolved, let cool (I
  place mine in the refrigerator for 10 minutes or more).
  
  Beat butter with mixer on high-speed until creamy and whipped gradually add
  powdered sugar and salt, alternate with coffee liquid, continue to beat on high
  until frosting is smooth and whipped if frosting seems too thin add more
  powdered sugar if too thick add teaspoon of coffee at a time until you get the
  right consistency.
• 5 Toppings: If you would like to add extra toffee bits or chopped pecans to the
  outside of the cake, you can do so after frosting the cake. Using your hand
  place your topping of choice in the palm of your hand and starting at the top
  press the topping in to the sides of the cake. This can be a messy process and
  some of the topping will fall directly on the counter just scoop it up and keep
  pressing it in until you get the desired amount on the outside of your cake.
