Ingredients

Streusel:

  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup finely chopped walnuts
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
  • Pinch of ground allspice
  • 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter cubed

Filling:

  • 1/3 cup brown sugar lightly packed
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons instant espresso powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
  • Pinch of allspice
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt

Cake:

  • 1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/8 teaspoon allspice
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup neutral oil
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted and cooled to room temperature
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

To Prep for the Recipe:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8-by-8-inch square baking pan and line with a sheet of parchment paper so that the parchment paper has extra flaps coming off all of the sides. This way you’ll be able to lift the cake out of the pan. Just makes sure it’s about 3-inches up the sides because this guy rises a bit.

To Make the Streusel:

  • In a bowl, combine the sugar, flour, walnuts, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, allspice, kosher salt, and butter and mix together. Use a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the mixture until it’s about pea shaped. Pop the bowl into the fridge to chill.

To Make the Filling:

  • In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, instant espresso, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, allspice, and kosher salt and mix until well combined. Set aside.

To Make the Cake:

  • In a bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, allspice, and kosher salt together.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the pumpkin puree, sour cream, oil, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined. Add the flour mixture and mix together with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined; don’t overmix as it will yield a tougher crumb.
  • Add a little more than half of the batter to the bottom of the lined baking pan and smooth with an offset spatula. Evenly sprinkle the filling over the smoothed batter and cover with the remaining batter. Gently smooth the batter with the offset spatula.
  • Remove the streusel from the refrigerator and evenly sprinkle it over the cake. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean when inserted into the center. Cool the cake in the pan set on a cooling rack and cut into 9 pieces.
