Pumpkin Coffee Cake Recipe

We are being teased with Fall temperatures much earlier than usual this season. I do live in Wisconsin, though, so unpredictable weather is to be expected!

It’s supposed to be cool in the morning, warm during the day, and back to cool at night right now… instead, it’s cold all day. Really cold! But the sun is shining, so I am focused on looking at the ‘bright side!’

And, if you start your day with a slice of this Pumpkin Coffee Cake I can guarantee you won’t be thinking about the weather! It’s distractingly delicious!

I will also add that since it’s pumpkin season, I highly recommend making Pumpkin Cheesecake Cookies , Pumpkin French Toast Casserole , Pumpkin French Toast , Pumpkin Cake , and Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars , too!

Melt 1 cup butter in the microwave. Pour into the dry ingredients and mix until you have wet, big chunks. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Cut 1/2 cup softened butter into chunks. Add to the flour mixture.

Add 1/2 can pumpkin puree to the mixture and beat until it comes together in a ball.

In a separate bowl, add remaining 1/2 can pumpkin puree. Whisk in 4 eggs, 1/4 cup oil, and 1 tbsp vanilla until well combined.

Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture in 3 additions, beating between each one.

Spread 2 cups of batter evenly into the bottom of pan.

Sprinkle 1 cup streusel evenly over the top.

Spread another 2 cups batter on top and spread the best you can.

Add another 1 cup streusel on top.

Add the rest of the batter and spread evenly.

Evenly spread another 2 cups of streusel on top of the cake. Set remaining aside.

Bake for 35 minutes.
