Ingredients 

Pumpkin Spice Streusel

  • 62 g unsalted butter (4 ½ tbsp.)
  • 100 g light brown sugar (½ c.)
  • 110 g all purpose flour (scant 1 c.)
  • 2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice

Pumpkin Coffee Cake

  • 78 g unsalted butter (5 ½ tbsp.)
  • 75 g light brown sugar (¼ c. + 2 tbsp.)
  • 1 egg room temperature
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 140 g pumpkin puree (½ c. + 2 tbsp.)
  • 30 g sour cream (2 tbsp.) room temperature
  • 90 g all purpose flour (¾ c.)
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • ¼ tsp. salt
  • ¾ tsp. pumpkin pie spice

(Optional) Glaze

Instructions 

Pumpkin Spice Streusel

  • 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.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F / 175°C.
  • 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 aside.

Pumpkin Coffee Cake

  • In a medium sized mixing bowl, melt the butter in 20 second intervals until it fully melts, then mix in the brown sugar.
  • Add in the egg, vanilla, pumpkin puree, and sour cream. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is cohesive and well combined.
  • Add in the flour, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin pie spice. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients just until no flour streaks remain.
  • Add half of the cake batter to the prepared loaf pan, and top it with ~1/3 of the streusel. Top the streusel with the remaining batter, then top the batter with the remaining streusel.
  • 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

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