Time 1h20m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more for baking dish
One 15-ounce can pumpkin puree (not pie mix)
1 cup heavy cream
4 large eggs
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, divided
1 tablespoon bourbon, optional
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, divided
1/8 teaspoon table salt
1 1/2 cups roughly chopped pecans
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Bourbon Whipped Cream, recipe follows
Ice cream, optional
1 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon bourbon

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees F and arrange a rack in the middle. Coat an 8 by 8-inch baking dish with butter and set aside.
  • Combine the pumpkin, cream, eggs, sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, bourbon, if using, ginger, nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/8 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Whisk until evenly combined and pour into the prepared baking dish.
  • Cut the butter into small pieces and add to a medium bowl. Stir in the pecans, flour, and the remaining 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/8 teaspoon salt and mix until it holds together somewhat but still crumbles. Scatter the topping over the pumpkin mixture and bake until the edges are puffed and the filling is set in the center, about 45 minutes to 1 hour. Remove to a rack to cool to room temperature. Serve with the Bourbon Whipped Cream and/or ice cream.
  • Add the heavy cream to a medium bowl. Beat the cream with a hand-held mixer until thick and frothy. Add the sugar and bourbon and beat until medium peaks form.

Tips:

  • Use fresh pumpkin puree. Fresh pumpkin puree has a more intense flavor than canned pumpkin puree. If you don't have fresh pumpkin puree, you can use canned pumpkin puree, but be sure to drain it well before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking the cake will make it dry.
  • Let the cake cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the cake to set.
  • Serve the cake with whipped cream or ice cream. This will add a delicious and creamy touch to the cake.

Conclusion:

Pumpkin crunch is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for fall. With its sweet and crunchy topping and its creamy pumpkin filling, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a delicious dessert to make, be sure to give pumpkin crunch a try.
