  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 2 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×13-inch cake pan with nonstick spray or butter.
  2. Make the Streusel: In a large bowl, whisk together 3 cups flour, 1 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1 tablespoon cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice. Melt 1 cup butter and pour it into the larger bowl, stirring until it resembles wet sand. Set aside in the fridge.
  3. For the Cake: In another large bowl, whisk together 2 & 1/4 cups flour, 1 & 1/2 cups granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 3/4 teaspoon baking soda, 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Chop 1/2 cup softened butter and add it to the mixture.
  4. Fold half of the pumpkin puree into the flour and butter mixture, mixing until it forms a ball without overmixing.
  5. Combine the remaining pumpkin, 4 eggs, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, and 1 tablespoon vanilla in the bowl with melted butter. Whisk until combined.
  6. Gradually add the egg mixture to the flour mixture in 3 parts, mixing lightly until fluffier.
  7. Spread 2 cups of batter into the cake pan, sprinkle with 1 cup of streusel, add 2 more cups of batter, another cup of streusel, and finish with the last of the batter. Spread remaining streusel on top.
  8. Bake for 35 minutes, then sprinkle leftover streusel on top and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
  9. Let the cake cool for 15-20 minutes before cutting.
  10. For the Icing: Beat 1/4 cup butter, then mix in 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, 3 tablespoons milk, and 2 cups powdered sugar until smooth, adding more milk if needed.
  11. Drizzle icing over the cake and serve warm.

Notes

Use fresh pumpkin puree for a richer flavor if desired. Don’t skip chilling the streusel to maintain its crunchiness.
