This pumpkin coffee cake is simple, one layer cake with crunchy, buttery cinnamon streusel topping and drizzled with cinnamon cream cheese glaze. Perfect fall treat!
Baking pumpkin recipes become one of my favorite thing to do in the fall. I’ve become totally obsessed with pumpkin over the several years and this fall I’ve made total of 5 pumpkin dessert recipes, but not every one of them will hit the blog though. Some of them still need retest just to make sure they are as good as I claim them to be. The first pumpkin recipe of the season was delicious fudgy pumpkin swirl brownies, so if you’re into pumpkin and chocolate, go check it out.
This pumpkin coffee cake is packed with delicious pumpkin flavor with addition of warm fall spices and vanilla and it is the ultimate fall treat. The cinnamon streusel on top is what makes this pumpkin cake recipe truly divine. The cinnamon cream cheese glaze is optional, but I totally recommend it. It adds the perfect touch to the cake. You will become obsessed with this pumpkin cake recipe!
