Description

A super moist cake, filled with the flavor of pumpkin and the warmth of autumn spices, topped with a generous amount of cinnamon crumb. Thank goodness fall has arrived!

Ingredients

  • FOR THE CRUMB LAYER:
  • ½ cups Sugar
  • 1 dash Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1 stick Unsalted Butter, melted
  • 1-½ cup All-purpose Flour
  • FOR THE CAKE LAYER:
  • 1 stick Unsalted Butter, At Room Temperature
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 2 whole Eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla
  • ½ cups Unsweetened Pumpkin Puree (canned Is Fine)
  • ½ cups Sour Cream
  • 1-½ cup All-purpose Flour
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • ½ teaspoons Baking Soda
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon Pumpkin Pie Spice
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • FOR THE TOPPING:
  • ¼ cups Confectioners Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon

Preparation

To make the crumb layer, combine the sugar, salt and cinnamon in a bowl. Stir in the melted butter and then the flour. Mix well and set aside.

To make the cake, preheat the oven to 350ºF. Cream the butter and sugar together using either a stand mixer or a hand mixer. Add the eggs, vanilla, pumpkin and sour cream and continue mixing until combined. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice and salt. Stir into the batter and mix until combined.

To assemble the cake, pour the cake layer batter into a greased 9″ round springform pan (you can also bake this in a 9″ square baking dish). Crumble the crumb topping evenly over the batter and bake in the preheated oven for approximately 45-50 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean. Allow to cool completely before removing from the springform pan.

For the topping, mix the confectioners sugar and cinnamon together. Dust the top with the sugar/cinnamon mixture before serving.

Hi Elise,

I’m on the East Coast, in New York, so not a high elevation. You might have to make some adjustments but I’m afraid I don’t have any experience with that. Good luck and I hope it comes out great!

Hi! I just moved to a city 5,000 ft up, and I often have to adjust recipes for the altitude change. I was wondering what altitude you baked this delightful cake at. Thanks!

Forgot the cinnamon sugar topping and it didn’t even matter. This is divine!

Made this yesterday and it was so awesome! Very moist and the crumb topping is the icing on the cake. :) My family has already made me promise to make it again! Thanks for posting!

Yum!! Baked in an 11×7 baking dish for 50 min and it was perfect.

Excellent recipe! For me, it turned out moister by lowering the temperature to 335 degrees and cooking for 40-45 minutes. Plus added pecans to the crumb mixture-my office scarfed it down and they are picky!

Delish! Moist,pumpkin-y,crumby-but in a good way of course,with a nice warm spice to it! I added pecans to the crumb since pumpkins and pecans play so nice with each other and it added a good crunch but next time I plan on mixing them into the batter,simply because I’m lazy and don’t like chasing wayward pecans when I take a bite.I love a good crumb cake,heavy on the crumb and until now Smitten Kitchen was the only other massive crumb coffee cake. This will definitely join my list of faves! I’ve had your lemon crumb coffee cake in my ‘to make’ bookmarks and I plan on making that next! Thanks for the great recipe!
