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!

Notes
Nutrition
Katie says
Cake came out very dense. Great flavor but very strange texture. Too bad after all the work to make it. Wonder if it would have been better in a bigger pan?
Kristin says
So sorry to hear that! The cake can be a bit dense, but shouldn’t have had a odd texture. Glad it had great flavor but sorry to hear it wasn’t a hit. What size pan did you use?
Morgan says
It was so dense it almost looked under done. The flavors were good but it was almost more of a pumpkin pie rather than a cake texture.
Kristin says
It is somewhat dense of a cake, but shouldn’t have been pie like. Such a bummer to hear! Sorry it wasnt a hit with you!
Michelle says
I made this exact to the directions and video and the cake came out horrible. It was so dense you couldn’t even tell it was supposed to be a cake. I watched the video over and over trying to figure what could have went wrong but I don’t see what could have been different?
Kristin says
Oh no! Such a bummer to hear as it shouldn’t have been that way! I have accidentally overmixed in the past and had it come out a bit too thick before, could that have been the reason? So sorry to hear that!
Chrishawn says
Cake was very dense.. it was more like eating a bread pudding kind of cake. Tasted good but very heavy and dense. Will look at ways to lighten cake up
Kristin says
Sorry to hear that! It is a bit dense, but shouldn’t have been bread pudding like. Bummer to hear!
Therese says
I made the cake for my.mother on laws birthday.
It was heavy as a rock. It was dense. I would not recommend it.
Kristin says
Oh what a bummer and to have it be a flop for a birthday cake! So sorry!! Did you check out the video tutorial? Hopefully that helps! Such a bummer nonetheless though!
Darla says
I made this last night and it didn’t turn out. I doubled the recipe, but the cake is very dense! What did I do wrong?
Kristin says
Hmmmm, I notice this cake gets too dense if I beat the batter too long, don’t cream the butter and sugar together in the beginning, etc. Do you think that could have happened in your case?
Karen says
The picture looks like a 9 by 13 pan. What is the size again?
Kristin says
I use an 8 x 8 unless doubling the recipe!
cathy says
