How to Make Pumpkin Spice Coffee Cake

This recipe has three parts but don’t worry, it’s an easy recipe to follow and no electric mixer is needed.  My best tip is to have everything out and ready for the recipe before starting.  For this recipe, I like to make the streusel topping first, then the cake, and while the cake is cooling, whip up the glaze.  

Making the Cinnamon Streusel Topping 

In a small bowl, combine the 1/2 cup flour, 1/4 cup COLD unsalted butter that you have cut into cubes, 1/2 cup light brown sugar, and 2 teaspoons cinnamon. Cut the butter into the mixture until it’s there are crumbs the size of peas.  Set aside. Grab a 9 x 9 inch baking pan and spray with nonstick spray and lightly flour pan.  Set aside.

Making the Pumpkin Cake

To make the cake, combine your dry ingredients in a medium bowl (2 cups flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin spice).

Next, combine the 1 cup pumpkin puree, 1/2 cup light brown sugar, 1/2 cup melted coconut oil, 1/4 cup pure maple syrup (not maple pancake syrup), and 1/4 milk.  Whisk till combined and then fold in the dry ingredient mixture until the batter is just combine, don’t overmix.

The batter will be thick, this is normal.  Spread batter evenly in your prepared baking pan.

Sprinkle streusel topping over cake batter and lightly press down.

Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean, there will some crumbs from the topping but the cake should be done.  Allow to cool while you are making the glaze.

    I love a good coffee cake, and this Fall version is calling my name. Most coffee cakes are dry, but your’s looks moist and tender.

    I take coffee cakes to meetings. Since I haven’t been going to meetings, I haven’t made one in a good while. I’m printing this for when my meetings start back up!
