Is this cake made from scratch?

Yes it is. There are many recipes for honey bun cakes out there that use a cake mix. And while they are good this cake is totally made from scratch.

Making a cake from scratch is really pretty simple. We have found that getting all your ingredients ready and measured is key. Also once you make something once or twice it becomes easier and easier. Almost like old hat as they say.

Not that there is anything wrong with boxed cake mixes. We have some recipes that we love that use a cake mix. Like this easy cake mix cake we make all year long Chocolate Pumpkin Bundt Cake. Sometimes we frost it and sometimes we don’t but it’s a great cake for a quick dessert.

Instructions for Crockpot Honeybun Pumpkin Cake

In the mixing bowl of a stand mixer, add sugar, and butter, and whisk together until creamy. Add eggs, heavy cream, vanilla extract, maple flavoring, pumpkin puree, brown sugar, and maple syrup. Mix all ingredients until well blended.
In a separate bowl, add the flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and ground cinnamon. Stir well, and add to the mixing bowl, blending between additions, until all ingredients are well mixed. Scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl, and blend.
Butter the bottom and halfway up the sides of the crockpot liner, and turn on to high heat.
Pour the cake batter into the crockpot and place the lid on. Let cook on high for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Turn the setting to low heat, and leave in the crockpot for about an hour, or until the center is set, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. When the cake is done, turn off the crockpot, and make the glaze.

Making the glaze

Blend the Powdered sugar and heavy cream together in the mixing bowl of a stand mixer, until smooth.

Add the Vanilla, and Maple syrup, and blend until creamy. When cake is cool, pour glaze over cooled cake in the crock pot.

Can I use real pumpkin for this recipe?

If you have real pumpkin cooked up and ready to use, go for it! We love using the canned pumpkin because it’s so simple and easy to use. There is little that has to be done besides opening up the can. This is a simple way to cut out extra steps because who has the time to make up a fresh pumpkin to add to this recipe.

What is the best way to reheat this Pumpkin Honey Bun Cake?

While it’s easy to keep this Honey Bun Cake warm in the crockpot on a low setting, you can store it for later and reheat it again when you’re ready.

The simplest way to reheat this tasty dessert is to pop it in the microwave for a short amount of time. We like to heat things up in small second increments so that it’s a slow process that you can easily reheat and enjoy.

What is the best way to store Crockpot Pumpkin Honey Bun Cake leftovers?

Leftovers should be stored in an air tight plastic container on the counter for a day or two and then stored in the fridge. If they last that long. They have never made it that long in our house. EVER!

We hope you enjoy this easy crockpot dessert as much as we do. There is nothing as good as having the smells of a crockpot going all day and the end result being this delectable dessert!

When it comes to this easy crockpot dessert, you won’t find a more flavorful one than this. And since it’s pumpkin-flavored and full of pumpkin spice, you can rest easy knowing that it’s literally the perfect recipe for fall!
