Ingredients
Scale
For the Cake:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp ground nutmeg
- ½ tsp ground ginger
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Streusel Topping:
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup packed brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
For the Maple Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1–2 tbsp milk (adjust for desired consistency)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
- Prepare the Cake Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. In another bowl, mix pumpkin puree, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Make the Streusel Topping: In a small bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Assemble the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle the streusel topping over the batter.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Prepare the Maple Glaze: While the cake is baking, whisk together powdered sugar, maple syrup, and milk until smooth. Adjust milk for desired glaze consistency.
- Glaze the Cake: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Drizzle the maple glaze over the cooled cake.
Notes
- Ensure the cake is completely cooled before applying the glaze to prevent it from melting.
- You can use a different type of glaze or topping based on your preference, such as cream cheese frosting or a simple powdered sugar glaze.
