  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup butter (1 stick, softened but still cool)
  • 1 (15-oz) can pumpkin puree (NOT pumpkin pie filling, divided)
  • 4 large eggs

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch cake pan.
  2. In one bowl, mix flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, salt, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice for the streusel topping. Stir in melted butter until crumbly.
  3. In another bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and softened butter to create a crumbly mixture.
  4. Fold in half the pumpkin puree until just combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the remaining pumpkin puree, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Gradually mix into the flour mixture until combined.
  6. Layer half of the batter in the prepared pan, sprinkle with streusel topping, add more batter and top with remaining streusel.
  7. Bake for 35 minutes; sprinkle leftover streusel on top and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until golden.
