Ingredients

• For the streusel topping:
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• For the cake:
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• For the glaze:
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch square baking pan.
2. To make the streusel topping, combine the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small mixing bowl. Using your fingertips or a fork, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.
3. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves. Set aside.
4. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the pumpkin puree, sour cream, and vanilla extract.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the streusel topping over the batter.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. While the coffee cake is baking, prepare the glaze. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
9. Once the coffee cake is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Drizzle the glaze over the slightly warm cake.
10. Slice and serve the pumpkin spice coffee cake warm or at room temperature. Enjoy with a hot cup of coffee or your favorite beverage.
