Pumpkin Crunch Cake

by Jamie

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Fall is by far my very favorite season. I love everything about it, the beautiful fall leaves, the crisp weather and of course the baking.  Bring on the pumpkin, right? There are many, many pumpkin recipes in my archives, click HERE to see them in all their glory. Though there is a plethora of pumpkin recipes to be had on my site, I couldn’t let much of the season pass without jumping on the pumpkin bandwagon with a new fresh recipe to share with you all. And man, is it a good one!

This Pumpkin Crunch Cake recipe has been floating around the universe for quite some time, many of you may have made something similar in the past. It’s super easy, using minimal ingredients and a simple assembly (love that). The bottom layer tastes like sweet pumpkin pie, the top is crunchy and almost stressel like in texture. Topped with some freshly whipped cream or cool whip, this is a baby is a sure fire win, friends.  Put it on your list as a must make this fall.  Hope you love it!

These recipes all look great! I am going to try the Pumpkin Crunch Cake first. I’m wondering if I can freeze this after cooking?

Hi Linda,
I haven’t ever tried freezing the Pumpkin Crunch Cake, though my thoughts are that it would work out well. Let me know if you try it and how it goes.
Best of luck!
