Cinnamon, pumpkin, and maple syrup all combined into one amazing Cinnamon Streusel Pumpkin Cake! What more could you want for a Fall treat, right??
Are you a Fall person?? Or more of a summer person?? Me, I am 100% a Fall lover! I love the cooler weather, comfy sweaters, a toasty fire, and pumpkin everything! Add in some casseroles and other comfort foods and I am one happy gal!
Plus, when Fall comes around, that means Christmas is just behind it and I LOVE Christmas!
I won’t skip too far ahead and get into Christmas just yet, but the coziness of the Fall/winter seasons truly make my heart happy! So many family traditions and fun ways to connect as a family too! Whether it be baking a pumpkin treat, decorating for the occasions, or playing a board game because its too cold to go outside!
A moist, flavorful pumpkin cake with an incredible glazed, streusel topping!
Last weekend, my hubby whipped this up for us and it was a hit! It was the perfect Fall treat and we all really enjoyed it! The cake itself was moist and packed with just the right amount of pumpkin spice. Next up, was the streusel. Perfectly sweet and crumbly, it really enhanced the flavor of the cake. Last but not least, the glaze! It was just what this cake needed to set it apart from all other recipes!
A fun variation of this would be to add in some tasty raisins or nuts. If you’re a fan, add about 1 cup to this recipe prior to baking!
