Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups flour (250 g)
- 1½ tsp cinnamon
- 1½ tsp pumpkin pie spice
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup whole milk
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup white sugar
- 1 cup pumpkin purée
- ½ cup flour (for streusel)
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed (for streusel)
- ½ tsp cinnamon (for streusel)
- ½ cup brown sugar (for streusel)
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for icing)
- 1 tsp butter, melted (for icing)
- 1–2 Tbsp milk (for icing)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract (for icing)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, cream softened butter with brown sugar and white sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add egg, milk, and vanilla; beat until incorporated. Mix in pumpkin purée until smooth.
- Gradually add dry ingredients and mix just until combined—do not overmix.
- Spread batter evenly into prepared pan.
- Combine flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon for streusel. Cut in cold butter until crumbly.
- Sprinkle streusel evenly over batter.
- Bake for 27–32 minutes, until topping is golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool for about 10 minutes.
- Whisk icing ingredients together, adjusting milk for desired consistency. Drizzle over cake.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- An 8×8 pan works, but results in a thicker cake—bake 35–37 minutes.
- Freeze whole or individual slices up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature.
- Swap milk in the icing for pumpkin spice coffee creamer for extra flavor.
