Directions

4. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly.
5. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter until it resembles coarse crumbs.
6. Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the cake batter.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
8. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. To make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and drizzling consistency.
10. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake.
11. Slice and serve the pumpkin coffee cake with a steaming cup of coffee or your favorite hot beverage.
