Crumb Topping

Pumpkin Coffee Cake

Maple Icing

  • 120 grams powdered sugar
  • 40 grams pure maple syrup
  • 3 tablespoons heavy cream

Instructions
 

Crumb Topping

  • In a medium bowl, combine the melted salted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Mix with a fork until the mixture forms moist, pea-sized crumbs.
    56 grams salted butter, 72 grams granulated sugar, 60 grams light brown sugar, 72 grams all purpose flour, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Place the bowl of streusel in the fridge to firm up while you prepare the batter.

Pumpkin Coffee Cake

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper and lightly grease the sides.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.
    200 grams all purpose flour, 100 grams granulated sugar, 100 grams light brown sugar, ¼ teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
  • Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add the oil, eggs, pumpkin purée, yogurt, and vanilla extract to the well. Whisk just the wet ingredients together first, then gradually pull in the dry ingredients around the edges.
    112 grams vegetable oil, 2 large eggs, 225 grams pumpkin puree, 120 grams plain Greek yogurt, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • Switch to a rubber spatula and gently fold the batter until everything is combined. The batter will be thick. Stop mixing as soon as the dry streaks disappear to keep the cake soft and tender.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it into an even layer. Sprinkle the chilled streusel evenly over the top.
  • Bake for 30-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean with a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then release the springform ring and transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.

Maple Icing

  • Whisk the powdered sugar, maple syrup, and heavy cream together in a small bowl until smooth.
    120 grams powdered sugar, 40 grams pure maple syrup, 3 tablespoons heavy cream
  • Drizzle the icing over the cooled cake, slice, and serve.

Notes

Storage: Store the cooled coffee cake in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days. If you want it to last longer, keep it in the fridge for up to 5 days. You can let each slice come to room temperature, but I think it tastes amazing cold!

Freezing: Wrap individual slices tightly in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag. Freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature or warm in the microwave for a few seconds before enjoying.
