  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree not pumpkin pie filling
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves

Streusel Topping
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter cold and cubed
Glaze
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, combine pumpkin puree, sugar, brown sugar, oil, and eggs until smooth.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  6. For the streusel, mix flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl. Cut in the cold butter until crumbly. Sprinkle evenly over the batter.
  7. Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow to cool for 15 minutes before drizzling with glaze.
  9. For the glaze, whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over cooled cake.

Notes

For extra flavor, add chopped pecans or walnuts to the streusel. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
