Pumpkin Spiced Coffee Cake is a moist, flavorful treat packed with warm spices and topped with a crumbly cinnamon streusel. Perfect for fall mornings, brunches, or cozy snacks, it brings together pumpkin purée and autumn spices for a comforting bake.


Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup pumpkin purée (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For the Streusel Topping:
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  5. Mix in the pumpkin purée, sour cream (or yogurt), and vanilla extract until smooth.
  6. Gradually stir in the dry ingredients just until combined—do not overmix.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  8. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon for the streusel. Cut in cold butter with a fork or pastry cutter until crumbly.
  9. Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the batter.
  10. Bake for 35–40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  11. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.
