Streusel Topped Pumpkin Coffee Cake

A moist coffee cake with a delicious pumpkin filling and a streusel topping… you will love this streusel topped pumpkin coffee cake.

This is the time of year that I start complaining about the weather, but this year I have no complaints. If I didn’t know better I would say that we are still in September. We have been having a wonderful warm spell and I am loving it. I am not sure how long it will stay around, but I will take it for as long as I can.

Even with the warmer weather I have been craving pumpkin. I am not sure what it is with me, normally I look for recipes that feature apples this time of year, but for some reason this year I have pumpkin on my brain.

I was looking for a pumpkin coffee cake recipe when I stumbled across a recipe for a coffee cake with a pumpkin filling and streusel topping. I couldn’t resist, really sounded too yummy not to try it.

The pumpkin filling makes the coffee cake super moist. Even though the pumpkin is a filling that runs through the center of the cake, the pumpkin flavor is in full force. The streusel adds a crunch and to the top, but it sprinkle in with the pumpkin filling.

Do you have pumpkin on the brain? You do? I would suggest trying this coffee cake.
