Ingredients

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.75 cups unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 0.5 cup whole milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups light brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for topping, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, and salt.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed butter to the bowl. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Reserve 1 cup of this crumb mixture for the topping and set it aside.

Step 4

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, pumpkin puree, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the larger bowl with the crumb mixture and gently fold them together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

To the reserved crumb mixture, add the light brown sugar and mix until combined. Sprinkle this crumb topping evenly over the batter in the pan.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.

Step 10

If desired, dust the top with powdered sugar before serving.
