Method
- Make the streusel: In a medium bowl, combine brown sugar, flour, pumpkin spice, and salt. Cut in the cold butter with a pastry cutter or your fingers until crumbly. Refrigerate while you prepare the cake.
- Prepare the cake batter: Heat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray an 8-inch square or 9-inch round pan with nonstick spray. In a large bowl, whisk together the brown and white sugar and eggs until smooth. Add pumpkin purée, melted butter, sour cream, pumpkin spice, vanilla, and salt. Mix well. Sprinkle baking powder and baking soda over the mixture, whisk to combine, then gently fold in flour until just combined (do not overmix).
- Assemble: Spread half of the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle with half of the streusel. Add the remaining batter and top with the rest of the streusel.
- Bake: Bake for 35–45 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Glaze (optional): In a small bowl, whisk together confectioners’ sugar, pumpkin spice, salt, and just enough milk to reach drizzling consistency. Drizzle over cooled cake.

I made this but not the glaze and it was so tasty! I had to use a 9-in pie pan, so it took longer to bake than 45mins. Going to be making this again. Thanks for the recipe! 🙂
