Sorry, Linus, but pumpkins were killed in the making of this dessert.

| The pecans roasted on top while baking and they were sooooooooo delicious! |
Better than getting a rock in your trick-or-treat bag. (If you don't get it---go watch the show!)
Much Much Much Better!
This is kind of a unique dessert. The best way I can describe it is........if a pumpkin pie and a coffee cake got married, this would be their baby. A sweet, sweet baby that would be loved by everyone! That's the best I can do. I guess you'll just have to make this and see for yourself. :)

I also share recipes at these linky parties.
Lois at Walking on Sunshine/wife of the colonel just posted this same recipe yesterday. she made hers without nuts.
ReplyDeleteI do this and call it pumpkin dump cake.
Either way, it is yummy and yours looks fabulous.
Thank you, Spatulas on Parade. I just went over and checked out Lois' Pumpkin Crunch Cake. There's a few different measurements and I didn't add any salt, but yes basically the same dessert. This dessert was new to our family and we loved it!
DeleteYou said it best, pumpkin pie married a crumb cake! Your photos are amazing! Great minds DO think alike! Glad you stopped by so I could come here and see your version! I definitely need to buy pecans next time I make this! Enjoy your day! Are you coming tomorrow for Foodie Friends Friday? :)

ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm already trying to decide which pumpkin recipe to make next! I was lucky and got to be first this time to the potluck. Thank you for being a wonderful hostess and I hope you have a great weekend, too! :)
DeleteI have this exact recipe I received from a coworker about 5 years ago! She found it in a cookbook. When I make it I use spice cake mix and reduce the sugar to 1/2 cup. Every time I make it, someone asks for the recipe!!! It is so delicious!
ReplyDeleteHi Kristin Rae,
