Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ tablespoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 (15 oz) can pumpkin puree
  • ⅓ cup sour cream, or plain greek yogurt
  • 1 cup whole milk

Crumb Topping:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 ½ sticks (3/4 cup) unsalted butter, melted

Cinnamon Maple Glaze:

  • ¾ cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon water, or milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9X13-inch baking pan with non-stick baking spray. Set aside.
  • Crumb Topping: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and cinnamon. Add melted butter and stir with a fork until crumbly. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk to combine the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl or stand mixer, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the eggs until smooth, then stir in vanilla, pumpkin, and sour cream.
  • Beat in flour mixture alternating with milk, until batter is well combined.
  • Pour batter into prepared 9×13 baking pan. Top batter with prepared crumb topping and spread into an even layer. Gently press into top of cake with your hands.
  • Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into center of cake comes out clean. (If your cake starts to brown too much on top, cover lightly with foil to prevent browning.)
  • Let cake rest for 15 minutes (or cool completely if you prefer).
  • Cinnamon Maple Glaze: Whisk to combine all ingredients in a small bowl until smooth. Drizzle over the top of a warm or cooled cake. Slice and serve as desired.
