Pumpkin Coffee Cake with Cinnamon Struesel

by aimee @ shugarysweets on October 14, 2012


I know I probably say this at least once a week. But this is the best thing I’ve made. 

This week. HA!

No. Seriously. This pumpkin cake is amazing. And from the time you put it together to the time you are eating it with a fork is less than an hour. 

And did I mention it makes TWO? 
You can freeze one of them for later if you’d like. 

Or give it to a friend, neighbor, family member, FAVORITE BLOGGER???

You get the idea. 

When I freeze this, I don’t put the drizzle on it. I just slide the cooled cake into a Ziploc Freezer Bag (gallon sized). Then, when ready to serve, thaw on the counter top (I usually pull it out the night before). Warm it up in a 225 degree oven for 10 minutes (or microwave on a microwave safe plate for 1 1/2 minutes). Prepare the icing, drizzle it and eat.
This is the perfect breakfast on Thanksgiving morning. Or the day after. Or to prepare for those holiday guests. ENJOY!

so of all the coffee cakes you’ve made, do you like this one the best? sounds like it :) but just double checking b/c the cinnabon coffee cake looks stellar too! i guess it’s hard to compare pumpkin vs. non-pumpkin.

This cake looks SCRUUUUMPTIOUS! (I sang that in a sing-songy voice, so please read it like so). Also, PUMPKIN COFFEE CAKE!? I think my classic, fave coffee cake may have a new fave contender.

I made this recipe over the weekend without the toppings. the cake alone was *very* delicious and made the perfect snack/breakfast/anytime food. I will absolutely be making this again before the holiday season is out.
