Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Prepare a 9 x 9 baking pan by lining it with parchment paper and set aside.
  • First make the streusel. In a small bowl mix together the ingredients for the streusel, it should look like coarse sand when mixed. Set aside for later.
    1 1/4 cup all purpose flour, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, 1/3 cup melted butter
  • In a large mixing bowl whisk together the dry ingredients for the cake.
    3 cups all purpose flour, 1 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp salt, 3 tsp ground cinnamon, 1 1/2 tsp ground ginger, 1 tsp ground nutmeg, 1/2 tsp ground cloves
  • In a separate bowl use an stand mixer to combine 1 1/2 cups lightly packed brown sugar and 3/4 cup vegetable oil. Mix well.
  • Add in 3 large eggs, one at a time. Mix well.
  • Then stir in 1/2 cup sour cream, 2 tsp vanilla extract, and 1 3/4 cup pure pumpkin purée.
  • Now add the dry ingredient to the wet ingredients and mix gently, but well.
  • Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking pan.
  • Sprinkle the streusel mixture evenly over the top.
  • Bake for 35 - 40 minutes. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool completely before removing it from the pan or serving.
