Thanksgiving Cake

A Thanksgiving cake is a festive dessert typically prepared for celebration of the Thanksgiving holiday. It often showcases flavors of fall, such as pumpkin, apple, spices like cinnamon and nutmeg, vanilla or chocolate. Typical types can include pumpkin spice cake, apple walnut cake, caramel pecan bundt cake or a classic spiced carrot cake. Often generously frosted with cream cheese icing or rich chocolate ganache, these cakes may also be adorned with decorative garnishes fitting to the theme of warmth and abundance- autumn-colored sprinkles, fondant shaped into leaves or pumpkins, roasted nuts or simply dusted with powdered sugar. A delight to both eyes and taste buds alike, a Thanksgiving Cake serves not only as an end-of-meal indulgence but also as a centerpiece that completes the holiday table setting.
