Preparation

- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
Streusel Preparation
- For the streusel topping, mix the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, oats (if using), and melted butter until crumbly.
Baking
- Pour half of the pumpkin batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
- Sprinkle half of the streusel mixture over the batter.
- Pour the remaining pumpkin batter on top and finish with the remaining streusel.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool before serving.
Notes
Serve the pumpkin coffee cake warm or at room temperature. It’s tasty on its own, but you can also drizzle it with a bit of icing or serve it with a dollop of whipped cream. Store leftover pumpkin coffee cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the fridge for about a week. You can freeze individual slices for up to 3 months. Make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature for smooth mixing. Don't overmix the batter; stir just until combined. For a sweeter streusel topping, you can add extra brown sugar. You can add nuts like walnuts or pecans to the streusel for a crunchy texture. If you like chocolate, try adding chocolate chips to the batter.
