Ingredients

Pumpkin Spice Streusel

  • 56 g unsalted butter (4 tbsp.)
  • 100 g dark brown sugar (½ c.)
  • 75 g all purpose flour (½ c. + 2 tbsp.)
  • 2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice

Pumpkin Coffee Cake

  • 65 g vegetable oil (⅓ c.)
  • 80 g dark brown sugar (⅓ c. + 1 tbsp.)
  • 1 egg room temperature
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 140 g pumpkin puree (½ c. + 2 tbsp.)
  • 30 g whole milk (2 tbsp.) room temperature
  • ¾ tsp. pumpkin pie spice
  • 90 g all purpose flour (¾ c.)
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • ¼ tsp. salt

Maple Glaze

Instructions

Pumpkin Spice Streusel

  1. Butter an 8×4" loaf pan, then line it with parchment paper to form a sort of hammock, where there are two sides with parchment paper sticking up. This will make it easy to pull the loaf out of the pan when it's done baking.
  2. Preheat the oven to 350°F / 175°C.
  3. In a medium sized bowl, melt the butter. Add in the flour, sugar, and pumpkin pie spice. Use a fork to mix the ingredients together until you have formed little clumps of dough. Set the mixture aside in the fridge while you work on the cake batter.

Pumpkin Coffee Cake

  1. To a small mixing bowl, add in the oil, sugar, egg, vanilla, pumpkin puree, milk, and pumpkin pie spice. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is cohesive.
  2. Add in the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients just until no flour streaks remain.
  3. Pour the cake batter into your prepared loaf pan and smooth the batter out into an even layer. Use your fingers to crumble the streusel into an even layer on top of the cake batter.
  4. Bake for 35-45 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center of the coffee cake comes out with just a few moist crumbs.

Glaze

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, maple extract, and milk. If you'd like a thicker glaze, add more powdered sugar. If you'd like a thinner glaze, add more milk.
  2. Once the cake has cooled to room temperature, top it off with the glaze, serve, and enjoy!
