Ingredients
  

For the Cake
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour Provides structure; no substitutions recommended for texture.
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Powder Creates leavening; ensure it's fresh for best results.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Enhances flavor; sea salt can provide a different taste profile.
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon Adds warmth and spice; nutmeg can complement.
  • 1 teaspoon Pumpkin Pie Spice Gives a seasonal flavor boost; can be made from a mix of spices.
  • 1 cup Canned Pumpkin Adds moisture and flavor; using cooked and pureed fresh pumpkin offers a homemade touch.
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar Provides sweetness and moisture; granulated sugar can substitute but lacks depth.
  • ½ cup Oil Keeps the cake moist; for a richer flavor, consider melted butter.
  • ½ cup Maple Syrup Adds depth of sweetness; substitute with honey or agave syrup if unavailable.
  • ½ cup Milk Contributes moisture; oat or almond milk are great dairy-free options.
For the Crumb Topping
  • ½ cup Cold Butter Creates a crunchy texture; keep butter cold for best results.
  • ½ cup Extra Flour Coats mixed for added crunch.
  • ½ cup Brown Sugar Coats mixed for added crunch.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Pumpkin Coffee Cake
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Lightly spray a 9x9 inch baking dish with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix the canned pumpkin, brown sugar, oil, maple syrup, and milk until fully combined.
  5. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring just until moistened.
  6. In a small bowl, mix together the extra flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon with the cold butter until the mixture becomes crumbly.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle the crumb topping generously over the batter.
  8. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes.
  9. Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the baking dish for about 10-15 minutes.
