    Pumpkin Coffee Cake

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    One of my favorite breakfasts growing up was classic coffee cake. My mom would make it on weekends and it was always so comforting and delicious with the perfect crumble topping. So, this fall season I decided to give classic coffee cake a pumpkin twist, and wow I’m glad I did. This pumpkin coffee cake is moist and perfectly spiced.

    Do I need a stand mixer to make this?

    Nope! I don’t own a mixer, so anything I make does not need an stand mixer, just a hand mixer or a whisk.

    Serving Suggestions

    This pumpkin coffee cake is delicious warm, cold, or room temp but I personally prefer it warmed up for an extra gooey treat. Just heat your slice of cake in the microwave for about 15-30 seconds, until warmed through.

    Storage

    Wrap tightly and refrigerate, stores well for 3-4 days.
