Pumpkin Coffee Cake

This one is such a hit with my family! I adapted it only slightly from Handle the Heat of Tessa Arias. Pumpkin Coffee Cake Preheat the oven to 350F. Grease an 8x8 square baking dish. In a small bowl, combine topping: 1/2 cup brown sugar 1/4 cup plain flour 1/2 cup pecans or walnuts, finely chopped 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (or pumpkin pie spice) 3 Tablespoons melted butter Set this aside. (I put it in the pyrex that I melted the butter in) In a bowl (I reused the same one I mixed the topping in)... Stir together: 1 cup pumpkin puree 1/2 cup olive oil or melted butter (butter is half the cost!) 4 oz sour cream (room temp) 2 eggs Add: 2 cups plain flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice 1/2 cup sugar 1/2 cup brown sugar Stir well. Spoon half the batter into the baking dish. Sprinkle with half the topping. Repeat with other half. Bake at 350F, 35 minutes until it tests done. (Touch/fork... I'll explain in a short soon!) Cool 15 minutes. Optional glaze (I usually don't, so I forgot to try it.) Combine: 1/2 cup powdered sugar 2 Tablespoons maple syrup. Drizzle over warm cake. --- Disclaimer: I am not a professional chef and I do not have a professional kitchen. My kitchen is always a little bit chaotic as I have an active family and animals in the house. Plus, I will never be that perfectly polished housekeeper! I am just sharing what I’ve done, not necessarily daily life. I hope to share some of what I have learned with the upcoming generations - many of whom are afraid to even try cooking.
