Indulge in the flavors of fall with this irresistible Pumpkin Coffee Cake. A moist and spiced pumpkin cake is layered with a buttery streusel filling and topped with a sweet vanilla icing, making it the perfect treat for breakfast or dessert.

Ingredients

For the streusel:

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, melted

For the cake:

  • 2 & 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 & 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened but still cool
  • 1 (15-oz) can pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling), divided
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

For the icing:

  • 1/4 cup (half stick) butter, very soft
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (use less if using table salt)
  • 3 tablespoons milk, more to taste
  • 2 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9×13 inch cake pan with nonstick spray or butter.
  2. Make the streusel: In a large bowl, whisk together 3 cups flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, salt, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice. Melt 1 cup butter and stir into the flour mixture to create a crumbly texture. Set aside.
  3. Prepare the cake: In a bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon. Add chunks of softened butter and half of the pumpkin puree. Mix until a dough forms.
  4. Make the batter: In another bowl, whisk remaining pumpkin, eggs, oil, and vanilla. Blend into the flour mixture in batches until light and fluffy.
  5. Layer the cake: Spread batter in the pan, sprinkle with streusel, and repeat layers. Finish with streusel on top.
  6. Bake the cake: Bake for 35 minutes, then add remaining streusel and bake for another 10-15 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Prepare the icing: Beat butter, vanilla, salt, milk, and powdered sugar until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled cake.
  8. Serve: Enjoy warm or reheat individual slices in the microwave.

Notes

  • If using a metal pan, adjust baking time accordingly.
