Hi Sugarplum!

Pumpkin Coffee Cake with Brown Sugar Glaze

December 13, 2012

It’s been awhile since I’ve shared a recipe around these parts. Truthfully, since Trader Joes came to town, I’ve been doing more preparing than actual cooking. We’re absolutely hooked on all their easy meals. But with extra time off around the holidays, I like to fuss around in the kitchen…and I recently whipped up this divine little number….

Pumpkin Coffee Cake

Okay, it’s so good I’ve made it twice since Thanksgiving. I’m a sucker for anything pumpkin, and since it’s a Coffee Cake, you can eat it for breakfast and dessert! (Isn’t that rational thinking?)

The Cake Ingredients:
1/3 cup water
1 (15oz) can of pure pumpkin
2 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1 (18oz) box yellow cake mix
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup flour
4 tablespoons butter, melted
1/3 cup chopped nuts of choice (optional)
Brown Sugar Glaze Ingredients:

1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup heavy cream

Pumpkin Coffee Cake

The Directions:

Preheat oven to 350-degrees.
In a large bowl, mix together water, pumpkin, eggs, vanilla and pumpkin pie spice until well combined. 
Add the cake mix and baking soda and mix until just combined.
Grease a 9×13-inch pan and pour batter into pan.

In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, flour, melted butter and nuts (if using).
Use your fingers to sprinkle mixture over the top of the cake.
Bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. (I used a smaller pan, so I had to cook an additional 20 minutes.)

Mix ingredients for glaze in a saucepan, bring to simmer, remove from heat, and stir until all sugar is dissolved.
Poke holes in the top of warm cake with toothpick or chopstick (I prefer to make larger holes).
Pour warm glaze over the cake, making sure to cover all surfaces.

Serve cake warm or at room temperature.

    I need to make this. Coffee cake = breakfast and/or dessert. I like the way you think!

    Hi, is it 1/2 cup of brown sugar in the cake? You did not write down how much!

    Thank you

    Oh this looks so good and while everyone else seems to love pumpkin-something-lattes, I LOVE pumpkin-anything-baked goodies! I can't wait to try this recipe. 🙂
