Ingredients

Scale

For the Cake:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

  • 1 cup granulated sugar

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt

For the Cinnamon Swirl:

  • 1/4 cup brown sugar

  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

For the Streusel Topping:

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • Pinch of salt


Instructions

  1. 1. Prepare the Oven and Pan:

    • Preheat the oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC).

    • Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or an 8ร—8-inch square baking pan.

    2. Make the Cake Batter:

    • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Set aside.

    • In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

    • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

    • Stir in the pumpkin puree and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

    • Alternate adding the dry ingredients and sour cream (or Greek yogurt) to the wet ingredients, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combinedโ€”be careful not to overmix.

    3. Prepare the Cinnamon Swirl:

    • In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.

    4. Prepare the Streusel Topping:

    • In another small bowl, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.

    • Stir in the melted butter until the mixture becomes crumbly.

    5. Assemble the Coffee Cake:

    • Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared pan and spread it into an even layer.

    • Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar swirl evenly over the batter.

    • Top with the remaining batter and spread it into an even layer, covering the cinnamon-sugar mixture.

    • Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the top of the cake.

    6. Bake the Cake:

    • Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (a few crumbs are okay).

    • If the top begins to brown too quickly, cover the cake loosely with foil during the last 10 minutes of baking.

    7. Cool and Serve:

    • Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

    • Slice and serve. This cake is perfect with a warm cup of coffee or tea!

Notes

  • You can make this cake ahead of time and store it in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

  • For a touch of extra sweetness, you can drizzle a glaze made of powdered sugar and milk over the top of the cake.

ย 

  • If you like a thicker crumb topping, you can double the streusel topping ingredients.
