Ingredients

Cake Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 2 1/2 tsp pumpkin spice
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 egg whisked
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Pecan Streusel Topping

Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 1/2 T milk

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 9" x 13" pan with nonstick cooking spray. (For a thicker cake use an 8x8 or 9x9 inch pan. SEE NOTES). Set aside. In the bowl of a stand mixer add the flour, sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin spice, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk to combine. 
  • Add the egg, vegetable oil, milk, pumpkin puree, and vanilla. Using the paddle attachment on medium low speed, mix until the wet ingredients are incorporated. 
  • Using a spatula, spread the batter into the prepared pan.
  • Whisk the flour, sugar, and cinmamon in a medium sized bowl. Add the butter and using a pastry blender cut the butter into the mixture until the butter is the size of small peas. Stir in the chopped pecans.
  • Evenly distribute the streusel mixture over the cake batter. Bake for 22-25 minutes. The cake is done when a toothpick is inserted into the center and it comes out clean, or with a few moist crumbs on it. Let the cake cool for 15-20 minutes before topping with the glaze.
  • Prepare the glaze by whisking all of the glaze ingredients in a small bowl. Add more milk or more powdered sugar to your liking. You want the glaze a thick, syrupy-like consistency. Using a spoon, carefully drizzle the glaze over the cake. Serve the cake warm or at room temperature.

Notes

If using a 9"x13" inch pan note, the cake is quite thin. It's more of a pumpkin sheet cake coffee cake. You can bake this cake in an 8"x8" or a 9"x9" inch pan if you'd like (round or square). You will just need to bake the cake for longer. About 30-35 minutes, depending on the pan. 
Store covered at room temperature for 2 days or in the fridge for 3-4 days.
