Pumpkin Pear Spice Cake includes just a few of my favorite ingredients.

The holidays are a joyous time. Family, friends, holiday parties and get-togethers, delicious food, decadent holiday desserts.

A sheet cake is also a nice alternative to the traditional pumpkin roll or pumpkin pie. It adds a bit of variety, and I'd wager that it's a bit easier or simpler to make too.

I'm looking forward to making this again for Thanksgiving.

My boys have been begging me to make it again. There's just something about the combination of flavors…

It's a scrumptious dessert perfect for the holiday season.

Below you'll find a printable recipe. Enjoy and Happy Thanksgiving!
