Description
A straightforward recipe for a moist pumpkin coffee cake with a streusel topping.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- For the Streusel:
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9-inch square baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil. Mix well.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time. Stir in the pumpkin puree, milk, and vanilla extract until just combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just blended. Do not overmix.
- Prepare the streusel: In a small bowl, mix the flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in the cold butter using your fingers or a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Spread half of the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle half of the streusel mixture evenly over the batter. Top with the remaining batter, then sprinkle with the remaining streusel.
- Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
Notes
- You can use canned pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.
- For a richer flavor, substitute half of the vegetable oil with melted butter.
- Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to three days.
