Ingredients
  

For the cake:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup pumpkin purée
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt

For the cream cheese layer:

  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the crumb topping:

  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup cold butter cubed
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9-inch baking pan.
  • In a large bowl, beat together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, pumpkin purée, milk, and vanilla extract, mixing well.
  • In another bowl, whisk together flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually combine the dry mixture with the wet ingredients until smooth.
  • For the cream cheese layer, beat cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl until smooth.
  • Pour half of the pumpkin batter into the prepared baking pan. Gently spread the cream cheese mixture over the batter, then top with the remaining pumpkin batter.
  • In a small bowl, use a fork to combine brown sugar, flour, cold butter, and cinnamon until it forms coarse crumbs. Sprinkle evenly over the top of the cake.
  • Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool in the pan before slicing. Serve with coffee or tea for a delightful treat!
