Ingredients

For the Cake Batter

For the Brown Sugar Filling

For the Streusel Topping

Instructions

  • Get out and measure your ingredients.
  • Preheat your oven to 350F. Line a 9x5 loaf pan with parchment paper and spray it with nonstick baking spray.

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

  • In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and pumpkin pie spice. Set aside.

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!

Notes

  • 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.
