The Best Pumpkin Coffee Cake
Pumpkin lovers, rejoice! This is my new favorite pumpkin streusel coffee cake. I love the thick pumpkin cake layer. It’s moist from the sour cream and has just the right amount of pumpkin spice.
The buttery streusel on top has just the right amount of crunch. Add a drizzle of creamy glaze, and it all comes together in pumpkin spice perfection.
This Pumpkin Spice Coffee Cake bakes in a 9×13 pan, which is ideal for Thanksgiving dessert, a potluck, or a larger family.
The recipe can also be cut in half and baked in an 8×8 pan if you prefer to have less tempting cake sitting around. 😃 However, since the full recipe calls for a whole can of pure pumpkin, I’d bake it in two 8×8 pans and place one in the freezer for later. Covered tightly, this will freeze quite well.
You could also bake one to keep and one to give. How nice would it be to deliver a warm-from-the-oven Pumpkin Spice Coffee Cake to a neighbor or family member?

- Pour the cake batter into your prepared baking pan, and smooth until level.
- Spread the streusal crumb topping over the batter until evenly covered.
- Place cake in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until there are no jiggles in middle of the cake, and a toothpick comes out clean.
Make the Drizzle Glaze:

Just made this today! Delicious! Just the right amount of sweet & spice. I added 1/2 cup chopped walnuts to the streusel for extra crunch. I was looking for a recipe for a pumpkin spice coffee cake that fit in a 9 x 13 pan and used a can of pumpkin. This was perfect! I took photos, but don’t see a way to attach them.
I’m so glad you liked it, Karen! And the addition of the walnuts sounds wonderful. I’d love to see your photos. You can email them to me at thehouseonsilverado@gmail.com
