Pumpkin Coffee Cake
If you’re looking for a fall brunch recipe, look no further than this decadent Pumpkin Coffee Cake! Pumpkin spices blend with the delicate flavor of a cream cheese layer and the yummiest streusel topping you’ve ever had! It’s truly the best pumpkin coffee cake recipe we’ve had in a long time. Top a slice with some whipped cream or easy vanilla glaze and mini chocolate chips for a delightful after dinner dessert.
Ingredients for Pumpkin Coffee Cake
This coffee cake recipe may seem like it has a lot of steps, but trust me, it comes together quickly, and each bite is worth the effort! Here’s what you need:
For the Cake
All you need is a baking pan and these simple ingredients to create the best dessert this fall!
Pumpkin puree – a 15 oz can of pumpkin works great! Or you can make your own homemade pumpkin puree. White, granulated sugarHalf cup vegetable oilBaking soda Pumpkin pie spice – this is really a mixture of cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger and other fragrant spices all in one! You can find it in the spice aisle in your grocery store.Sour cream – a half cup of full fat sour cream gives this cake a moisture that can’t be beat!Eggs All purpose flour
Cream Cheese Layer
8 ounces of cream cheese – make sure it’s at room temperature so it blends together smoothly with an electric mixersugar – white, granulated sugar Vanilla extract – you can use half to a full teaspoon vanilla depending your taste.
Crumb Topping
All purpose flourSugarCold butter – Make sure it’s really cold! You’ll use a pastry cutter or your fingers to crumble the butter in with the flour, sugar and cinnamon.Cinnamon – about half a teaspoon or so to taste
Add-ins
If you want to change up this classic pumpkin coffee cake, you can add all sorts of delicious toppings! We love mini chocolate chips or chopped pecans added to the mixture. You could also sprinkle a little brown sugar over the top before it bakes for a richer crumble topping. Or drizzle a simple glaze of powdered sugar and milk over the top after cooling.
Other Yummy Coffee Cakes
I have to admit, this is one of my all time favorite coffee cakes! Right now for me it is a pretty close tie with our Blueberry Cream Cheese Coffee Cake, both are so good, you can’t go wrong! I’m thinking that I can make the Pumpkin Coffee Cake during Fall and the Blueberry Coffee Cake in the spring. 🙂 And definitely our Cranberry Almond Coffee Cake during the Holidays. Although when I am looking for a quick and easy coffee cake recipe, I love to whip up our Cake Mix Coffee Cake.
