Pumpkin Crunch Cake can be considered a dessert as well as a side. It’s in the same category as sweet potato casserole. A little sweet, but also a little savory. I asked my readers what their favorite Fall recipe was and Cydnee said her favorite was Pumpkin Crunch Cake and her boys insist on having it every Thanksgiving. I’ve never heard of this cake before and it sounded very interesting. So I asked if she’d like to share the recipe and her response was: Yes, I love sharing good recipes! Believe me, it’s a great recipe! It’s so simple and tastes so good. It doesn’t have the texture of cake, but more like a custard with a crunch top. I look forward to having it many more times, not only on Thanksgiving, but throughout the year!
Ingredients are as follows:

Been making this since apprx 1999. Goes over well at office holiday carry in. Only I had to sent 2 pans 9×13 to husbands office.
It is delicious Deborah! We have it instead of pie at Thanksgiving 🙂
i can only find the pumpkin in a can. Cant find the puree pumpkin in a can . Is it the same?
It sure is Donna 🙂
I found this recipe a few months ago on "Gooseberry Patch". It was titled "Uncrustable pumpkin pie". No matter where I bring it, everyone goes crazy for it and wants the recipe–right there and then! It will be on my dessert table tomorrow, too.
I agree Muriel!
Is the pumpkin pie spice and salt measured in teaspoons or tablespoons? Thanks.
teaspoons!!
Yes, it's teaspoons…thanks Muriel 🙂
This is my favorite pumpkin recipe. I will make it after Halloween. I will need to do something with my pumpkins.
Dear Lisa, I just came from the Gooseberry Patch. This pumpkin crunch cake looks absolutely irresistible…this and a cup of coffee, who's better?! Please do visit soon. Blessings, Catherine
This question may sound stupid but I get an "A" for reading all comments to make sure it hasn't been asked already 🙂 Is the can of 100% pumpkin the same as pumpkin puree? I don't like altering recipes and then wondering why mine didn't taste as good as all the raving reviews. Thanks in advance.
Not stupid at all 😉 It's just pumpkin puree in a can 🙂 I hope you enjoy!
I have a very similar recipe, but instead of serving it with the "crunch" on top, you flip it over and it becomes more like a crust. Either way, it's so yummy! Think I'm going to make it for an event this week that I have to bring a dessert to…
Can anyone tell me what size pumpkin can to use? I have a large can and a smaller, soup sized can….
Thanks!
The recipe calls for 2 Cups, so either can will work. If your soup can is smaller than I doubt that will yield two cups. I usually use a big can, scoop out the two cups then freeze what I have leftover. You can always take it out and use it for pumpkin roll, muffins, bread, etc. I hope this helps 🙂
that's pretty much all of the good things in life rolled into one cake:)
This looks really delicious! I just may have to try it!!!!
This really looks yummy! I would love for you to link this post to my Thanksgiving link up!
Making this now, but the butter did not cover much of the top and the cake mix is powdery. 🙁
Don't worry…it will spread out and turn out delicious!
Featuring YOU over on my blog today! This looks so yummy! Thank you so much for linking up to my {wow me} wednesday party last week! 🙂
