Ingredients
8 servings
- •1 cup pumpkin puree
- •¾ cup white sugar
- •½ cup canola oil
- •2 large eggs
- •2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- •1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- •1 cup all-purpose flour
- •1 teaspoon baking soda
- •1 teaspoon baking powder
- •¼ teaspoon salt
- •½ cup caramel sauce
- •1 tablespoon bourbon, divided

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line an 8-inch square cake pan with parchment paper.
- Beat pumpkin puree, sugar, oil, eggs, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract together in a bowl.
- Sift flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt into a bowl. Add to the pumpkin mixture; stir until just combined. Pour into prepared pan; smooth top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes.
