Pumpkin Coffee Cake
By Vera
Ingredients:
- ⅓ cup Water
- 1 can Pureed Pumpkin (15 Oz)
- 2 whole Eggs
- 1 Tablespoon Vanilla Extract
- 2 teaspoons Pumpkin Pie Spice
- 1 box Yellow Cake Mix (18 Ounce Box)
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1 cup Brown Sugar, Divided
- ½ cups Flour
- 4 Tablespoons Butter, Melted
- ¼ cups Granulated Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- ¼ cup Heavy Whipping Cream
Instructions:
Preheat
the oven to 350F.
Cake: In
a large bowl mix together the water, pumpkin, eggs, 1 Tablespoon of vanilla,
and pumpkin pie spice until well combined. Add the cake mix and baking soda and
mix until just combined.
Grease
a 9×13 pan with butter and pour batter into pan.
Topping: In
a small bowl mix together 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 1/2 cup flour and melted
butter. Use your fingers to sprinkle over the top of the cake. Bake at 350 for
25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Glaze: Combine the other 1/2 cup brown sugar, granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon
vanilla, and heavy cream in a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Remove from heat
and stir until all sugar is dissolved.
When
cake is finished baking, poke holes in the top with a toothpick. Pour glaze
over the cake, making sure to cover all surfaces. Serve cake warm or at room
temperature.
Notes:
1. Next time I would only use about half the pumpkin spice, but that is personal preference as I'm not big on the spices.
2. I didn't care for the topping. The taste was fine, it was more the texture, so I would probably skip that next time to see how it would work out!
