Welcome back to Family Table Treasures! It’s that time of year again! Summer is over…though here in Massachusetts it’s been so unseasonable warm I’m kind of wondering! Thanksgiving is only a few weeks away so hopefully it will bring some brisk Autumn days.

There’s nothing better than the aroma of warm spices wafting from the oven on a brisk Autumn day. Don’t you agree?  This Pumpkin Crunch Cake Recipe is the perfect easy dessert to do just that. Yes, that’s right I said easy. Super easy. In fact, 10 minute prep time easy!

Pumpkin Crunch Cake is a recipe that’s been around for years. If you search Pumpkin Crunch Cake Recipe on the internet you will get hundreds of different blogs that share this heavenly recipe. So why am I sharing it yet again? Well…a couple of reasons.

1. It’s so incredibly delicious I wouldn’t want any of the Family Table Treasures family to miss out on it.
2. The main reason I originally began this site was so my family and friends would have a place to go to find their favorite recipes!

The first time that I sunk my teeth into this delectable dessert was at a friend’s house. It was love at first bite. You see, even though it’s sprawled all over the internet I had never heard of it. Apparently, it’s a recipe that lots of people have grown up enjoying as a classic holiday dessert for many years. I guess I must have been living under a rock!

My friend was kind enough to share her recipe with me and now it has become one of our Family Favorite desserts too!
