  • Use a fork, whisk, or your hands to stir together the streusel ingredients in a small bowl until thoroughly combined. Place in the refrigerator while you make the coffee cake batter.
    ½ cup butter, 1 cup all-purpose flour, ½ cup brown sugar, ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, all spice, granulated sugar, and brown sugar.
    3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder, ¾ teaspoon baking soda, ¾ teaspoon kosher salt, 1 ¼ teaspoon cinnamon, 1 ¼ teaspoon ground ginger, ¾ teaspoon nutmeg, ½ teaspoon cloves, ½ teaspoon allspice, ¾ cup granulated sugar, ¾ cup brown sugar
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, oil, sour cream and eggs.
    1 15 oz can of pumpkin puree (about 1.5 cups), ¾ cup canola or neutral oil, ⅔ cup sour cream, 3 eggs
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix with a rubber spatula until just combined, being sure to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl as you go.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth into an even layer. Remove the streusel topping from the fridge and use a fork to break it up until it has a mix of small and medium crumbles. Sprinkle the streusel evenly across the top.
  • Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean or with only a few moist crumbs. Cool at room temperature, then serve with a dusting of powdered sugar.

Notes

Tips & Tricks
  • To keep the end result really tender, be sure not to over mix it.
  • It is done when a toothpick still has a few moist crumbs on it. If it bakes too long, it will be dry.
  • Cold eggs and sour cream work, but room temperature produce a bit better final dish.
