Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 8x8-inch baking dish with cooking spray and line with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. To a large bowl, add the dry ingredients (flour through brown sugar); whisk well to combine.
  3. To the same bowl, add the pumpkin, oil, and milk. Using a hand or stand mixer, mix on high speed to combine. Batter will be thick. Transfer the batter to the dish and spread the top out evenly to ensure even baking.
  4. In a small bowl, combine the streusel topping ingredients. Mash/stir with a fork until mixed together well. Sprinkle streusel mix over the batter.
  5. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean. For a more moist cake, take out when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly but not completely clean.
  6. Allow the cake to cool for 15 or minutes. Then, in a zigzag motion, drizzle the glaze across the cake.

Notes

  • To store: Wrap Pumpkin Coffee Cake tightly in plastic wrap or store in an air tight container (important to prevent it from drying out). Coffee cake will stay fresh at room temperature for 1-2 days or refrigerated for 5-6 days.
  • Good no mess/fuss trick! You can spray a sheet of parchment paper with cooking spray and press down to even out the top (again, which is important to ensure even baking).
