Pumpkin Cake Is the Perfect Thanksgiving Dessert for the Lazy
Freezer cakes aren’t a traditional Thanksgiving dessert, but maybe they should be. These cakes are essentially a bunch of whipped cream and cookies, which is good and doesn’t take time in the oven, which means you’ll have more room for the casseroles.
The filling in this pie is incredibly gentle, and you can customize both the pumpkin and the spice as you like. Add mashed potatoes, give it flavor, and add more if you need more seasonal flavor, remembering that keeping the cake in the refrigerator will tone down the flavor a little. Place it high (with gingerbread cookies) on any platter, plate, or skillet you have, then let the entire pie cool in the refrigerator for at least four hours until the cookies are tender and the pie is sliced.
