Ingredients for Pumpkin Coffee Cake
This coffee cake recipe may seem like it has a lot of steps, but trust me, it comes together quickly, and each bite is worth the effort! Here’s what you need:
For the Cake
All you need is a baking pan and these simple ingredients to create the best dessert this fall!
Pumpkin puree – a 15 oz can of pumpkin works great! Or you can make your own homemade pumpkin puree. Do NOT use pumpkin pie filling. White, granulated sugar Half cup vegetable oil Baking soda Pumpkin pie spice – this is really a mixture of cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger and other fragrant spices all in one! You can find it in the spice aisle in your grocery store. Sour cream – a half cup of full fat sour cream gives this cake a moisture that can’t be beat! Eggs All purpose flour
Cream Cheese Layer
8 ounces of cream cheese – make sure it’s at room temperature so it blends together smoothly with an electric mixer Sugar – white, granulated sugar Vanilla extract – you can use half to a full teaspoon vanilla extract depending your taste.
Crumb Topping
All purpose flour Sugar Cold butter – Make sure it’s really cold! You’ll use a pastry cutter or your fingers to crumble the butter in with the flour, sugar and cinnamon. The crumb texture doesn’t work as well with melted butter. Cinnamon – about half a teaspoon or so to taste
Optional Add-ins
If you want to change up this classic pumpkin coffee cake, you can add all sorts of delicious toppings! We love mini chocolate chips or chopped pecans added to the mixture. You could also sprinkle a little brown sugar over the top before it bakes for a richer crumble topping. Or drizzle some maple syrup over the top. You can also whisk a simple glaze of powdered sugar and milk with a fork and spread over the top after cooling. READ NEXT: 35+ Brunch Menu Ideas READ NEXT: 33+ Breakfast Ideas
