I'm not a cook, but I'm good at baking.

The problem is, all of the classic baked good staples for thanksgiving are pies.

I do not own a rolling pin or a pie plate, and don't have the ingredients for pie filling (and I'm not going to go to the store to pick up any of those things the day before thanksgiving because I value my life and my sanity)

So tonight I'm baking the totally traditional thanksgiving pound cake

You could do an olive oil cake! They’re really good and pretty easy to make!

I haven't heard of that, but looking into it, probably not the best option for my family. Practically everyone is a picky eater of some sort or another, me included, so it's best to go with something simple that everyone can agree on.

That’s fair. It’s a pretty good baseline alternative to pound cake if you ever wanna mix it up. It usually has a bit of a lemony zest to it and is great with any fruit toppings - or even just powdered sugar!
