Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 3/4 cups (220g) all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

  • 1/2 teaspoon ginger

  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened

  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar

  • 1/4 cup (50g) brown sugar, packed

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 cup (240g) pumpkin puree

  • 1/2 cup (120ml) milk

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare the Pan

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

Step 2: Make the Crumb Topping

In a bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Pour in melted butter and mix with a fork until crumbly. Set aside.

Step 3: Prepare the Cake Batter

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. In a large mixing bowl, beat butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth. Stir in pumpkin puree and mix until combined.

Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with milk. Stir gently until just combined—avoid overmixing!

Step 5: Assemble the Cake

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the batter.

Step 6: Bake

Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack.

Step 7: Add the Glaze (Optional)

In a small bowl, whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla. Drizzle over the cooled cake for an extra touch of sweetness.

Notes

✔ Use Fresh Pumpkin Puree – Canned is great, but fresh pumpkin puree gives an even richer flavor.
✔ Don’t Overmix the Batter – This keeps the cake soft and fluffy.
✔ Let the Cake Cool Before Slicing – This prevents crumbling.
