Pumpkin Coffee Cake

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ¾ teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• ¾ cup sugar
• ½ cup vegetable oil
• ½ cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ cup all-purpose flour
• ½ cup brown sugar
• ½ cup pecans (chopped)
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a square baking dish with cooking spray and set it aside.

2. 2

   In a medium bowl, combine the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix well and set aside.

3. 3

   In a separate large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, sugar, oil, milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk vigorously until all the ingredients are well combined.

4. 4

   Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and mix thoroughly to create a smooth batter without any lumps. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.

5. 5

   As the batter bakes, prepare the topping: combine flour, brown sugar, pecans, butter, and cinnamon. Mix the ingredients until well incorporated.

6. 6

   Sprinkle the prepared topping evenly over the batter in the baking dish. Bake the coffee cake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

7. 7

   Once baked, allow the cake to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
