This is a popular pumpkin cake you can find on many websites and I have tried those recipes myself by baking it in the oven and my cake came out delicious! So, I had this idea to make it in the crockpot and low and behold you won’t believe what I found out….

This Pumpkin Crunch Cake is even better baked in a crockpot rather than in the oven. I don’t know why but it came out more like a pumpkin crunch cake than a pumpkin crunch dump cake, which that’s essentially what it is. So, we’re going to make an easy crunch dump cake in the crockpot but your result is going to be a pumpkin crunch cake. Does that make sense? If not, no worries after you make it in the crockpot it will. Let’s make it!
