How to Make Pumpkin Coffee Cake With Brown Sugar Glaze

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup pumpkin puree, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, 1 tablespoon vanilla extract, and 1 cup water until well combined.
  3. Add 1 box (15.25 oz) of your favorite spice cake mix and 1 teaspoon baking soda. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
  5. In a medium bowl, combine ½ cup packed light brown sugar, ½ cup all-purpose flour, and ¼ cup (½ stick) melted unsalted butter. Mix with your fingers until crumbly.
  6. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the cake batter.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. While the cake bakes, prepare the glaze: In a small saucepan, combine ½ cup packed light brown sugar, ¼ cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and ¼ cup heavy cream.
  9. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is completely dissolved and the glaze is smooth.
  10. Remove from heat and set aside.
  11. Once the cake is baked, let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before poking holes all over the top with a toothpick.
  12. Slowly pour the warm glaze over the cake, allowing it to soak into the holes. Let cool completely before serving.
