Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- For the Streusel Topping:
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger.
- In a separate bowl, beat together the pumpkin puree, softened butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Prepare the streusel topping by combining the flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Cut in the cold butter with a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Spread half of the coffee cake batter into the prepared baking pan. Sprinkle half of the streusel topping over the batter.
- Spread the remaining coffee cake batter over the streusel. 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 transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Ensure your pumpkin puree is not pumpkin pie filling.
- For a richer flavor, use real maple syrup in place of some of the sugar.
- The cake can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
