Chocolate and Pumpkin Pie Layer Cake
"Why choose between cake, cookie or pie when you can have all three? This Chocolate and Pumpkin Pie Layer Cake has stacks of fluffy & moist chocolate cake alternated with creamy maple-infused pumpkin pie that has been baked on a sweet & crunchy cookie crust. I absolutely adore the sweet and crunchy texture the cookie provides when you sink your teeth into this treat. It is quite the unexpected surprise as you don’t typically expect this from a cake or pie."
NotesI cut mine out into mini cakes which will leave you with scraps. You can munch on these or use them to make cake pops. I threw the leftover pie scraps into brownies.
If you don't want to deal with scraps, you can just make a two layer slab cake. See instructions; however, you will want to use the pumpkin pie as the bottom layer since it will be difficult to get the entire slab pie out of the pan. The cake is very soft so freezing is recommend since it will be easier to handle.
For the slab cake you may need to double the chocolate ganache , depending on how much you spread onto each layer.
