Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp ground nutmeg
  • ½ tsp ground ginger
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Topping:
  • 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
  • ½ cup brown sugar, packed
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ cup butter, softened

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Set aside.
  3. In another bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil. Mix well.
  4. Add the pumpkin puree, eggs, and vanilla extract to the sugar mixture. Beat until smooth.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Prepare the topping: In a bowl, mix together the chopped nuts (if using), brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and softened butter until crumbly.
  7. Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  8. Sprinkle half of the topping mixture over the batter.
  9. Pour the remaining batter over the topping, then spread the rest of the crumb topping evenly over the cake.
  10. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Experiment with spices like cardamom or allspice for extra flavor.
  • Use fresh pumpkin puree for a richer taste.
  • This cake stays moist for days and can be made ahead.
  • For a chocolate chip version, fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips into the batter.
  • Substitute all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free blend for a gluten-free option.
  • Top with cream cheese frosting for a decadent finish.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days, or refrigerate.
  • Freeze wrapped slices for up to 3 months.
