Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter cold, cut into small cubes
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon fine salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 1/4 cups pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup buttermilk or milk, room temperature
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a 9x9 or 9x13-inch pan with baking spray and set aside.
  • To make the crumb topping, whisk together 1 cup flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Add cold butter cubes and blend until large crumbs form. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, mix 2 cups flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, and sugar. Add eggs one at a time, whisking after each. Stir in vanilla extract.
  • Add the dry ingredients in three parts, alternating with the buttermilk in two parts, beginning and ending with dry ingredients. Stir until just combined.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle the crumb topping over the batter and gently press it in.
  • Bake for 30–35 minutes (check at 20–25 minutes if using a 9x13 pan), or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let cool slightly before glazing.
  • To make the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over the warm cake. Slice and serve.

Notes

For a stronger spice flavor, consider adding a pinch of allspice. The crumb topping can also be doubled for an extra indulgent touch.
