How to make Glazed Pumpkin Streusel Coffee Cake

1. Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

2. Make the Streusel Topping:

In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, cinnamon, and melted butter. Mix until the ingredients form a crumbly streusel mixture. Set it aside.

3. Prepare the Pumpkin Coffee Cake Batter:

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Set aside.
In another bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until it becomes creamy and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, continuing to beat until well combined.
Stir in the canned pumpkin puree and mix until the batter is smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.

4. Assemble the Coffee Cake:

Spread half of the pumpkin coffee cake batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
Sprinkle half of the streusel topping over the batter.
Carefully spoon the remaining pumpkin batter on top of the streusel layer and spread it evenly.
Finally, sprinkle the remaining streusel topping over the second layer of batter.

5. Bake the Coffee Cake:

Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, with only a few moist crumbs.
Remove the coffee cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes.

6. Make the Glaze:

While the coffee cake is cooling, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar and milk until it reaches a smooth, drizzling consistency.

7. Drizzle with Glaze:

Once the coffee cake has cooled slightly, drizzle the glaze over the top while it’s still in the pan. Allow the glaze to set for a few minutes.

8. Serve and Enjoy:

Gently lift the coffee cake from the pan using the parchment paper, if used, or cut it into squares if you greased and floured the pan. Serve your Glazed Pumpkin Streusel Coffee Cake warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
