This decadent fall dessert features a homemade crumb cake infused with popular autumnal flavors such as pumpkin, cinnamon and nutmeg. The dessert features a cake base topped with a crumbly streusel topping and sweet glaze.
Stirring away from the traditional and overdone pumpkin pie, this cake offers all the same great flavors in a new delicious format. The cake is made from a base of pumpkin puree, sour cream, sugar, spices and flour. The sour cream is added to give the cake its fluffy texture. On top of the cake a homemade crumble topping is added made from pecans, butter, sugar, cinnamon and flour. The crumble adds a nutty and sweetness that contrasts the denseness of the cake. Lastly an optional glaze can be added made from cream, sugar and vanilla to complete the artisan aesthetic of these homemade bars.
