A moist and spiced pumpkin coffee cake with a sweet streusel topping, perfect for autumn mornings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- For the Streusel Topping:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
- In a large bowl, cream together the granulated sugar and softened butter until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the pumpkin puree and vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Prepare the streusel topping: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared cake pan. Sprinkle half of the streusel topping over the batter.
- Pour the remaining batter over the streusel layer. Sprinkle the remaining streusel topping evenly over the top.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Ensure your pumpkin puree is not pumpkin pie filling.
- For a richer flavor, you can add 1/2 cup of chopped pecans or walnuts to the streusel topping.
- This cake is best served at room temperature.
