Alright, y’all! I am officially ready for fall! All of our exciting summer plans have come and gone, and I am ready for some cooler weather (surprisingly, Missouri summers are pretty brutal!). Today, I thought that maybe if I made a fall themed dessert, I could trick myself into thinking that fall was already here. I decided to make this Pumpkin Crumb Cake with Glaze, and let me just tell you – it is amazing! Save this recipe, because it just might be your new favorite pumpkin dessert.
Here are some tips for making this recipe:
- I typically use canned pumpkin puree for this recipe, but you can use fresh pumpkin puree if you would like. Canned is really just so much easier in my opinion!
- Keep a close eye on your cake when you are baking it. You don’t want to over cook this cake and dry it out. 40 minutes was the perfect baking time in my oven. You will want to remove it from the oven as soon as the center is set.
- The glaze on this cake is definitely one of the best parts, but if you would like something that is a little less sweet, maybe for a breakfast or brunch type dish, you can leave the glaze off and this will still be fantastic.
