Ingredients

Coffee Cake

  • 2 cups flour spooned, leveled
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1 T pumpkin pie spice **see below for link to recipe for homemade pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup oil vegetable or canola
  • 1 tsp. vanilla

Topping

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 T butter melted
  • 2 T flour
  • 2 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup pecans chopped

Instructions

For Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

  2. Whisk together dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. Dump in pumpkin puree, milk, oil, and vanilla and then mix until well incorporated.

  3. Pour into a lightly greases 9x9 pan. 

For Streusel

  1. Melt butter in a microwave safe bowl. Add brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon and mix until incorporated. Mix in chopped pecans. 

  2. Sprinkle evenly on top of cake batter. Note: You can leave it on the top when cooking, or I prefer to lightly poke it (with a finger- poke, do not stir) into the batter in several places. I like the taste of having the streusel areas within my cake. The texture is so good. 

  3. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the middle comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
