How to Make Pumpkin Coffee Cake with Vanilla Icing

You’ll love how easy this pumpkin cake from scratch is to make. In fact, you don’t even need an electric mixer. You can do this one all with a whisk! You’ll start by whisking all of the dry ingredients together. In another bowl, you’ll combine the wet ingredients, including the pumpkin puree.

NOTE: This recipe calls for pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.

Once all of the ingredients are mixed together for the cake, you’ll pour the batter into a 9-inch by 9-inch baking dish. But don’t bake it just yet! You need to add the streusel topping.

Streusel Topping

For the streusel crumb topping, make sure to use cold butter. We want to cut the butter into the dry ingredients. You’ll then sprinkle this mixture on the cake batter before you bake.
