This is one of those pumpkin recipes that you absolutely need to make in the fall. I always try to make this cake right around Thanksgiving. While you can make it any time of the year, it just seems to taste better in the fall.

You can eat this pumpkin crumble plain but it is even better with a dollop of whipped topping. You can even sprinkle more pumpkin spice on the shipped topping for more pumpkin flavor!

Tips

  • Instead of using plain whipped cream as a topping, you can use pumpkin spice flavored whipped cream if you can find it. I know my wife loves it!
