Ingredients:
Coffee Cake
· 2 cups flour spooned, leveled
· 3/4 cup granulated sugar
· 2 tsp. baking powder
· 1/2 tsp. salt
· 1 T pumpkin pie spice **see below for link to recipe for homemade pumpkin pie spice
· 1 cup pumpkin puree
· 1/2 cup milk
· 1/2 cup oil vegetable or canola
· 1 tsp. vanilla
Topping:
· 1/2 cup brown sugar
· 2 T butter melted
· 2 T flour
· 2 tsp. cinnamon
· 1/2 cup pecans chopped
Instructions:
For Cake:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Whisk together dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. Dump in pumpkin puree, milk, oil, and vanilla and then mix until well incorporated.
3. Pour into a lightly greases 9x9 pan.
For Streusel:
1. Melt butter in a microwave safe bowl. Add brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon and mix until incorporated. Mix in chopped pecans.
2. Sprinkle evenly on top of cake batter. Note: You can leave it on the top when cooking, or I prefer to lightly poke it (with a finger- poke, do not stir) into the batter in several places. I like the taste of having the streusel areas within my cake. The texture is so good.
3. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the middle comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
