How to Make Pumpkin Gingerbread Streusel Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine all streusel ingredients EXCEPT butter: 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, a pinch of salt.
  3. Cut in 2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Set aside.
  5. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  6. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  7. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree, 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  8. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the creamed butter mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  9. Pour batter into a greased 13x9 inch baking pan.
  10. Sprinkle evenly with the streusel topping.
  11. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  12. Let cool slightly before serving warm or at room temperature. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or caramel sauce for an extra decadent treat!
