Ingredients

Streusel Crumb Topping

  • ¾ cup light brown sugar, packed
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • cups all-purpose flour

Pumpkin Coffee Cake

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Maple Cinnamon Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1½-2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • pinch of ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9x9-inch baking with nonstick baking spray.
  • Use a fork to stir the brown sugar, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, salt, and butter in a medium bowl. Add the flour in two increments, stirring until large crumbs form.
  • Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ground cloves in a medium bowl.
  • Combine the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Add the flour mixture to the pumpkin mixture in a couple of increments, stirring just until combined.
  • Pour the cake batter into a well-greased 9x9-inch baking dish. Evenly sprinkle the crumbs over the cake and gently press them slightly into the cake. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with no wet batter.
  • Let the cake fully cool. Stir the powdered sugar, milk, maple syrup, and a pinch of cinnamon. Drizzle the glaze over the cake.

Notes

  • Bring the eggs to room temperature.
  • Grease the baking dish well. I like to use Baker's Joy. It is baking spray with flour, and it works very well.
  • Do not overmix the cake. Mix just until combined.
  • An offset spatula is a necessity in today’s kitchen. Use it to spread the cake batter evenly in the baking dish.
  • Store the coffee cake at room temperature on the counter for up to 3 days.
