Pumpkin Coffee Cake
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
- 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.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, mix the canned pumpkin, brown sugar, oil, maple syrup, and milk until smooth.
- 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.
- 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.
- Assemble the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the batter.
- 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.
- Cool and Serve: Let the cake cool in the pan for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
