It’s perfect to serve during the fall, and well, we love it just about any time. But it’s particularly good to serve for Thanksgiving.

While pumpkin pie is definitely something you expect to see on your Thanksgiving table, a lot of people are looking for something that’s a bit different. Surprise your guests with a delicious pumpkin cake they are sure to enjoy.

The cake travels well, particularly if you have a cake carrier. I like to travel with it in an insulated cake / casserole carrier to keep it warm. I use one like this because it’s really easy to carry and clean:

If you’re going to be taking it with you, we recommend heating it up a bit before serving it. Set the oven to warm (or it’s lowest temperature) before you begin to enjoy your dinner and put the cake in. If there isn’t enough oven space to do so, you can microwave each serving for a few seconds to serve it warm. If the cake is room temperature, about 20 seconds should be enough to warm it up so that the topping is a bit gooey.

Be sure to serve it with warm caramel sauce too. When you serve it with ice cream, you’ll want it to be warm enough to make the ice cream melt just a tad.
