Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour (plus extra for crumb topping)
1 cup pumpkin puree
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar (plus extra for crumb topping)
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 large eggs
1/2 cup butter, melted (plus 1/4 cup cold butter for crumb topping)
1/4 cup milk
1 tsp ground cinnamon (plus extra for crumb topping)
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a baking dish with parchment paper.
In a bowl, whisk together 2 cups flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.
In another bowl, mix pumpkin puree, eggs, granulated sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, melted butter, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
For the crumb topping, mix 3/4 cup flour, 1/3 cup brown sugar, 1 tsp cinnamon, and 1/4 cup cold butter until crumbly.
Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan and sprinkle the crumb topping over it.
Bake for 35–40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Notes
Add chopped pecans or walnuts to the crumb topping for extra crunch.
Drizzle a glaze of powdered sugar and milk over the cooled cake for added sweetness.
Replace half of the flour with whole wheat flour for a healthier twist.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for 5 days.
Freeze individual slices for up to 2 months and reheat as needed.
