Instructions
In a large bowl, cream shortening and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in pumpkin and orange juice concentrate.
Combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, nutmeg and allspice; add to the creamed mixture alternately with milk, beating well after each addition.
Pour into two greased and floured 9-in. round baking pans.
Bake at 350° for 28-32 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
For filling, in a large bowl, beat cream cheese until light and fluffy.
Add confectioners' sugar and pie spice; beat until smooth. Fold in whipped topping and pumpkin.
Cut each cake horizontally into two layers.
Place bottom layer on a serving plate; spread with a fourth of the filling. Repeat layers three times.
Sprinkle with pecans; drizzle with caramel topping. Store in the refrigerator.
Recommended wine: Cream Sherry, Port Wine, Moscato Dasti
Dessert works really well with Cream Sherry, Port Wine, and Moscato d'Asti. A common wine pairing rule is to make sure your wine is sweeter than your food. Delicate desserts go well with Moscato d'Asti, nutty desserts with cream sherry, and caramel or chocolate desserts pair well with port. The NV Solera Cream Sherry with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 17 dollars per bottle.

NV Solera Cream Sherry
The Solera Cream Sherry has a brilliant amber and deep copper hue. With butterscotch and pecan aromas, the sweet salted nut and brown spice aromas carry a complex caramel accent. A sweet entry leads to a rounded, lush, moderately full-bodied palate with a lengthy, flavorful finish.
