Pumpkin Coffee Cake Recipe

This pumpkin coffee cake is so light and fluffy, you'll want to make it again and again. Be sure to measure the flour correctly. That's key for getting that light and tender texture.

Although this pumpkin spice cake isn't exactly low calorie, it does have many healthy ingredients, including pumpkin, whole wheat flour and walnuts. Serve this pumpkin cake for breakfast or dessert on Thanksgiving and Halloween.

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 1 hour

Ingredients:

  • For Streusel:
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup finely-chopped walnuts
  • .
  • For Cake:
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1/3 cup canola oil
  • 1-3/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 8 oz. sour cream (low-fat or non-fat is okay)
  • 2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
  • 2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 tsp. salt

Preparation:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a bundt pan.

  7. Spoon baking soda, pumpkin pie spice and salt on top of flour. Now, with the electric mixer on low, mix the flour into the batter. Make sure it is completely incorporated, but do not overmix.

  8. Spoon half of the cake batter into the prepared bundt pan. Sprinkle the streusel filling evenly over the cake batter, being careful not to allow it to touch the sides.

  9. Spoon the remaining cake batter over the streusel filling.

  10. Bake 55-60 minutes.

  11. Invert cake and let cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
