Autumn Pumpkin Spice Crumble Cake 🍂🧡

Ingredients:

For the Crumble Topping:

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup packed light brown sugar

1 tsp ground cinnamon

½ tsp ground nutmeg

¼ tsp salt

½ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed

For the Pumpkin Spice Cake:

2 cups all-purpose flour

3 tsp baking powder

1 tsp salt

1 tsp ground cinnamon

½ tsp ground ginger

¼ tsp ground nutmeg

¼ tsp ground cloves

1¼ cups pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)

½ cup vegetable oil

2 cups granulated sugar

2 large eggs, room temperature

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup buttermilk (or milk with 1 tsp lemon juice/vinegar)

For the Vanilla Drizzle:

1 cup powdered sugar

2 tbsp milk

¼ tsp vanilla extract

🍁 Instructions:

1. Prepare the Crumble Topping:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch or 9x13-inch baking pan.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.

Using a pastry cutter or your hands, cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.

2. Make the Pumpkin Spice Cake:

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves.

In a separate bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, and sugar until smooth.

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the pumpkin mixture, alternating with the buttermilk, and stir until just combined.

3. Assemble & Bake:

Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.

Sprinkle the crumble topping over the cake batter and gently press it into the surface.

Bake for 30-35 minutes for a 9x9 pan (or 20-25 minutes for a 9x13 pan), or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.

Let the cake cool slightly in the pan.

4. Prepare the Vanilla Drizzle:

In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Drizzle the mixture over the warm cake for an extra sweet touch.

5. Serve & Enjoy:

Slice and serve the cake warm or at room temperature. Enjoy the cozy fall flavors with each bite! 🍂✨
