Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour (for the cake)
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground ginger
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (softened, for the cake)
• 1 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cups Pure pumpkin puree
• 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups Whole milk
• 1.25 cups All-purpose flour (for the crumb topping)
• 0.75 cups Brown sugar (lightly packed)
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (for the topping)
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (melted, for the crumb topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, baking powder, 1.5 teaspoons of ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together 0.5 cups of softened unsalted butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then mix in the pumpkin puree and pure vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in three additions, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Step 6

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

Step 7

For the crumb topping, mix 1.25 cups of all-purpose flour, 0.75 cups of packed brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon in a medium bowl. Pour in the melted butter and mix with a fork until large crumbs form.

Step 8

Evenly sprinkle the crumb topping over the cake batter.

Step 9

Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes before serving. Enjoy it warm or at room temperature!
