My wife is more of a pumpkin lover than I am. She loves anything with pumpkin; cookies, pies, lattes, muffins, cakes. Well, you get the idea. That being said, this Pumpkin Crumble Cake is to die for! Probably my favorite pumpkin-flavored dessert.
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.
🥜 Nut Allergy Warning
If you or anyone consuming this recipe has a nut allergy, please take the appropriate precautions. In this case, you can simply leave out the chopped pecans.
💭 Recipe Tip
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!
