It's packed with rich pumpkin spice flavor and topped with an irresistible brown sugar cinnamon streusel crumb topping.

Ingredients

  • For the Streusel Crumb Topping:
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 4 tablespoons cold butter (1/4 cup), cubed
  • For the Coffee Cake:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin
  • 1/2 cup canola oil or vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Spray a 9x9-inch square baking dish with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, mix the canned pumpkin, brown sugar, oil, maple syrup, and milk until smooth.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the cake light and fluffy.
  5. Prepare the Topping: In a small bowl, mix the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon for the crumb topping. Add the cold, cubed butter and press with a fork until the mixture forms a crumbly consistency.
  6. Assemble the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the batter.
  7. Bake: Bake for 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean. If the toothpick is still very wet, bake for an additional 5 minutes.
  8. Cool and Serve: Let the cake cool in the pan for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Enjoy this delicious Pumpkin Coffee Cake as a delightful fall treat!
