Description

Enjoy this tender and moist pumpkin streusel coffee cake recipe with a dollop of freshly whipped cream. Cake mix is used as a base to speed things up.

Ingredients

nonstick cooking spray
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
1 (15 1/4 ounce) package yellow cake mix
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
3 large eggs
1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree (such as Libby's®)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup coarsely chopped pecans

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat a 9x13-inch baking pan with cooking spray; set aside.
2 Combine brown sugar, flour, and pumpkin pie spice in a medium bowl. Cut in 4 tablespoons cold butter using a fork or pastry blender until it resembles coarse crumbs. Set streusel aside.
3 Beat cake mix and 4 tablespoons softened butter together in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until well combined. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add pumpkin purée and cinnamon; mix until well blended, about 3 minutes. Stir in pecans.
4 Pour batter into the prepared pan, spreading evenly. Sprinkle streusel topping over batter.
5 Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Cool cake before serving for about 5 minutes.
