Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the 2.5 cups of flour, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 0.5 cup of brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients until evenly mixed.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, melted butter (0.75 cup), eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 6

To make the crumb topping, combine 1.25 cups of flour, 0.5 cup of brown sugar, 0.25 cup of granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon in a medium bowl. Pour in the melted butter (0.5 cup) and mix with a fork until the mixture forms coarse crumbs.

Step 7

Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the cake batter in the pan.

Step 8

Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Let the cake cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Optionally, dust the top with powdered sugar before serving.

Step 10

Slice into squares and enjoy Bill's Favorite Pumpkin Crumb Cake with a warm cup of coffee or tea.
