If there’s anything Thanksgiving is known for, it’s pie. And we’re not complaining—we love Thanksgiving pies, whether they’re filled with a classic ingredient like apple, pumpkin, or pecan or something more unexpected, like matcha custard or tahini mousse. That being said: We don’t think pies are the only dessert that can (or should) appear on your Thanksgiving table. The same flavors that are so delicious in this season’s pies—warm spices, caramelized sugar, tart fruit—work just as well in cakes.
Here, we’ve gathered 40 of our favorite Thanksgiving cake ideas in one place. We have tons of easy, simple recipes for those looking to make dessert as speedy and stress-free as possible, along with more involved options like layer cakes for those seeking a challenge. In either case, your dessert is guaranteed to be the highlight of the meal.
