In honor of my upcoming FIFTH cookbook, Real Life Shabbos Cooking, I decided to go back and share some fan favorites from my first four cookbooks to give you a taste of my style that you can expect from Real Life Shabbos Cooking. Starting off strong with one of the best cake recipes I’ve ever made, the impossibly perfect Pumpkin Crumb Cake from my first cookbook, Something Sweet! This cake is incredibly moist, perfectly spiced, and has an obscene amount of crumbs, as a good crumb cake should. This cozy fall cake is going to be the surprise hit of your sukkos menu!

7. Bake for about an hour, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
   

Notes

Plan Ahead: This cake freezes nicely in an airtight container. For best results, freeze whole and cut into squares just before serving.
