Ingredients

Pumpkin Cake

2 cups flour

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice

1 cup pumpkin puree

1/2 cup light brown sugar

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup coconut or neutral oil

1/4 cup Greek yogurt

Streusel Topping

1/2 cup all purpose flour

1/4 cup cubed unsalted butter, cold

1/3 cup light brown sugar

1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice

Glaze

1/3 cup powdered sugar

1/4 cup cream cheese (room temp)

2 tbsp water

Dash of cinnamon

Instructions

Prep

Preheat your oven to 350F
Line an 8x8 pan with parchment paper

Make the Cake

To a medium sized bowl, add the dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin pie spice). Whisk together.
To a separate bowl, add the wet ingredients (pumpkin puree, sugars, oil, and greek yogurt). Whisk together.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet, and mix until all the flour is fully incorporated. The batter will be thick, but that’s okay!

Make the Streusel

In a small bowl, add all the ingredients and use a fork or your fingertips to incorporate together until it resembles wet sand. Note: it will look clumpy and that’s expected.

Assemble

To your prepared pan, add half the cake batter. Spread half the streusel mixture on the first layer.
Repeat once more with the remaining batter and streusel

Bake

Bake for 35 mins or until the center of the cake is fully cooked. You can check this by poking the center with a long toothpick and if it comes out clean, it’s ready!
Let it cool on a wire rack for around 30 mins
