PIES AND TACOS
This Pumpkin Coffee Cake is a cozy fall dessert with layers of moist pumpkin cake, spiced cinnamon filling, and a crumbly streusel topping.
Begin by making the streusel topping. Mix the flour, white sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin spice, and cinnamon in a bowl. Add the butter and combine with a fork until crumbly. Set aside in the fridge while you prepare the cake.
For the pumpkin pie filling, mix the flour, brown sugar, pumpkin spice, and cinnamon in a small bowl and set aside.
To make the batter, prepare the dry ingredient mixture. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin spice.
In a separate large bowl, whisk the vegetable oil, sugars, egg, vanilla, buttermilk, and strained pumpkin puree until fully combined. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix with a spatula until smooth.
While the cake is baking, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth in a medium bowl, then add the powdered sugar, pumpkin spice, and milk. Adjust the consistency as needed to make a pourable glaze.
Once the cake has cooled, drizzle the glaze over the cake and sprinkle a bit of extra pumpkin spice on top for garnish.
It’s the perfect treat to enjoy with your morning coffee or at a festive gathering.
