Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9-inch square baking pan or springform pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and pumpkin pie spice.
In a large bowl, whisk brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually stir dry ingredients into wet ingredients until just combined.
In another bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
For the crumb topping, mix flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter until crumbly.
Spread half of the pumpkin batter into the prepared pan.
Spoon cheesecake filling evenly over the batter.
Carefully spread remaining pumpkin batter on top.
Sprinkle crumb topping evenly over the surface.
Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until the center is mostly set and a toothpick inserted into the cake portion comes out mostly clean.
Cool completely before slicing and serving.

Notes

Use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling. Let the cake cool fully before slicing to help the cheesecake layer set properly. Refrigerate leftovers because of the cream cheese filling.
