How to Make Pumpkin Streusel Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 13x9 inch baking pan.
  2. **Make the Streusel:** In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces, and 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts. Use your fingers or a pastry blender to cut the butter into the sugar mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Set aside half of the streusel mixture.
  4. **Make the Cake:** In a large bowl, combine one 15.25 oz box of pumpkin spice cake mix, 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree, 2 large eggs, and 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) melted unsalted butter.
  5. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 3 minutes, or until well combined.
  6. Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan.
  7. Sprinkle half of the streusel mixture evenly over the batter.
  8. Pour the remaining batter over the streusel layer.
  9. Top with the remaining streusel mixture.
  10. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Let cool completely before serving.
