Pumpkin Crunch Cake


This is a delicious dessert that is a snap to make and yummy enough to serve for company.  It's not actually cake like at all, it's more like a crust less pumpkin pie with a yummy, cakey, buttery, nut topping.  I'm talking Super YUM! This is  perfect dessert for anytime during the fall season but it would also be a great addition to your Thanksgiving dessert offerings.

Just a heads up on this recipe. Obviously, your baking time will vary. Every oven is different and to tell you the truth, mine is, at best, wonky!  I baked this 1 hour and 45 minutes.  The way to tell if this is done is to stick a knife tip or toothpick in the center of the cake, inserting just through the cake layer, and when it comes out clean the cake is done. 

This recipe is at my new site. Hope to see you there :) I've posted a lot of new things.

  32. This cake sounds great and a wonderful alternative to the sometimes boring pumpkin pie. I see the recipe specifies white sugar. Do you think it would be okay to substitute brown sugar or even half brown sugar? Thanks so much. Your site is great.
