How to Make Pumpkin Walnut Cake
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan with a removable bottom.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, cloves, and baking soda.
- Stir in 1/2 cup of the chopped walnuts.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients and pumpkin puree to the wet ingredients, alternating between the two and beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
- For the streusel topping: In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup flour, 1/4 cup sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/4 cup cold, cubed butter. Cut in the butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the remaining 1/2 cup chopped walnuts.
- Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the batter in the pan.
- Bake for 1 hour and 25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once completely cool, carefully remove the cake from the pan.
