There’s something about the shift from summer into fall — the pumpkins, apples, and golden leaves — that focuses my mind on family. The holidays bring small, meaningful moments together, and food is often the center of those memories.

I’m excited to begin a seasonal partnership with Reddi-wip to share simple, joyful ways to enhance family meals and desserts. Over the coming months I’ll be sharing recipes and ideas that celebrate both food and togetherness.

Sharing food with family has always brought me comfort. When I want a taste of home, I turn to our family cookbooks — each page full of memories. Recently I found this Pumpkin Pie Cake in one of those books and knew it was perfect for a family night dessert. It’s simple to prepare and, like classic pumpkin pie, it’s best served with a generous dollop of whipped topping. My kids loved adding their own Reddi-wip, and the cake became the highlight of our evening.

I hope these recipes become comfort foods my children return to as they grow — a small way to pass joy forward through simple, shared meals.

How to Make Pumpkin Pie Cake

Make the crust: Reserve 1 cup of the cake mix for the topping. Combine the remaining cake mix with the flour, melted butter, and egg. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.

Make the filling: In a bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, eggs, granulated sugar, milk, brown sugar, and pumpkin pie spice. Pour the filling over the prepared crust.

Make the topping: Mix the reserved cup of cake mix with the sugar and cinnamon. Cut in the butter with a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture forms coarse crumbs. Sprinkle evenly over the pumpkin filling.

Bake: Bake at 375°F for 40–45 minutes, until the top is lightly browned and the center is set. Allow the cake to cool for at least 2 hours before slicing. Serve with Reddi-wip or your favorite whipped topping.
