How to make Pumpkin Spice Coffee Cake
Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 350 degrees F.
Step 2: Using non-stick cooking spray, grease the bottom of an 8-inch square pan.
To make the streusel:
Step 3: Add the light brown sugar, flour, chopped pecans, cinnamon, and unsalted butter in a small bowl. Mix with a fork until crumbly.
To make the cake:
Step 4: Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a large bowl.
Step 5: Add the pumpkin puree, oil, sour cream, and eggs in a small bowl. Mix well. Create a well in the middle of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Stir gently until just mixed.
Step 6: Into the prepared pan, spoon half of the batter. Then, sprinkle over half of the streusel. Spreading on top the rest of the batter, then, the rest of the streusels.
Step 7: Place inside the preheated oven and bake for about 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean. If using a glass or ceramic pans, note that it’ll take longer to bake.
Step 8: Remove from the oven and allow to cool for at least 15 minutes.
To make the topping:
Step 9: Combine the sugar and maple syrup in a small bowl until thick yet still pourable.
Step 10: Drizzle this over the warm cake. Then, slice into squares and serve. For the leftovers, store at room temperature, covered, for up to 4 days.
