  • 1 cup (227 g) pumpkin puree canned (not pumpkin pie filling)

Glaze

  • 1 cup (114 g) powdered sugar
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F, and lightly grease a 9x9-inch or 11x7-inch baking pan. Set aside.

For the Streusel Topping:

  • Place the ingredients in a food processor, and pulse briefly until moist crumbs form. There should be no dry sandy patches. (You can use a bowl with two forks, a pastry cutter, or your hands if you don’t have a food processor.)
    5 tablespoons (70 g) unsalted butter, ¾ cup (90 g) all-purpose flour, ½ cup (106 g) light brown sugar, 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • Transfer the topping to the refrigerator until ready to use.

For the Cinnamon Filling:

  • In a small bowl, use your fingers or two forks to combine the filling ingredients until small crumbs form. Set aside.
    3 tablespoons (43 g) unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon, ½ cup (60 g) all-purpose flour, ½ cup (106 g) light brown sugar

For the Cake Batter:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
    2 cups (240 g) all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
  • In a medium bowl combine the pumpkin puree, light brown sugar, granulated sugar, oil, sour cream, milk, eggs and vanilla.
    1 cup (227 g) pumpkin puree, ½ cup (106 g) light brown sugar, ½ cup (106 g) granulated sugar, ½ cup (100 mL) canola oil, 2 ounces (57 g) sour cream, ¼ cup (57 mL) milk, 2 (100 g) large eggs, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix just until combined. Make sure not to over; otherwise, the cake will be tough.
  • Spoon half the batter into the prepared pan, and sprinkle the filling evenly over the batter.
  • Carefully spoon the remaining batter over the filling and spread into an even layer. Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the batter.
  • Bake for 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before adding the glaze.

For the Glaze:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk.
    1 cup (114 g) powdered sugar, 1 to 2 tablespoons milk
  • Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake, and serve. See post for tips and storage options.
