For the Brown Sugar Filling
Make the Cake Batter
In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, canned pumpkin, sour cream, egg, and vanilla until combined.
Next, add the flour, brown sugar, and baking powder. Whisk just until no large lumps of flour remain. Set aside.
Make the Cinnamon Filling
Make the Streusel Topping
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, flour, and pumpkin pie spice.
Once combined, add the melted butter and mix until the mixture has the consistency of wet sand— about 1 minute. Set aside.
Layer, Bake & Store
Add half of the cake batter to the loaf pan.
Top with the cinnamon filling— make sure to spread it out evenly.
Top the cinnamon filling with the remaining half of cake batter.
Finally, top the cake batter with the streusel topping. Again, make sure to cover the cake evenly.
Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few crumbs. The top should be dark brown but not burnt.
Allow the loaf to cool for at least 30 minutes before removing from the pan— this will help the center set and prevent the bread from becoming gummy.
Enjoy every bite!
- Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
- I always bake with salted butter. If using unsalted, add ¼ teaspoon of salt when you add the butter.
- Any kind of milk will work this recipe— even non-dairy milks.
- You can substitute the sour cream for greek yogurt if you’d like.
- Light or dark brown sugar will work in this recipe.
- This loaf will fill the pan completely. I recommend placing the pan on a cookie sheet to catch anything that might bubble over (it shouldn’t happen, but does occasionally).
- This cake is best served warm. Microwave a slice for 30 seconds before enjoying for that “fresh from the oven” taste.
