What Makes Coffee Cake Different from Cake?

Coffee cake is typically less sweet than regular cake and often includes a crumbly streusel topping. It’s designed to pair beautifully with coffee or tea and is more casual compared to frosted layer cakes.

• Baking powder

• Pumpkin pie spice

• Cinnamon

• Salt

• Pumpkin puree

• Brown sugar

• Granulated sugar

• Eggs

For the Crumb Topping

Is Canned Pumpkin the Same as Pumpkin Puree?

Yes! Canned pumpkin is the same as pumpkin puree, but make sure you don’t grab pumpkin pie filling, which contains added sugar and spices.

How to Make Pumpkin Coffee Cake

1. Preheat the oven and prepare your baking pan.

2. Make the crumb topping by mixing the dry ingredients and cutting in the butter until crumbly.
