How to make pumpkin cream cheese crumb cake

Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (180°C) and lining a 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan with parchment paper.

Next, prepare the crumble topping. In a medium bowl, mix together sugar, flour, salt, and cinnamon. Add melted butter and stir until the mixture becomes crumbly. Set it aside for later.

Move on to prepare the pumpkin cake batter. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, baking powder, and baking soda. In another large bowl, whisk eggs with sugar and vanilla extract. Add oil and mix until smooth. Stir in pumpkin puree and buttermilk, then fold in the dry ingredients. Be careful not to overmix and set the batter aside.

Now, prepare the cream cheese filling. Combine softened cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract in a bowl, mixing until smooth.

To assemble the cake, spread half of the pumpkin batter evenly in the prepared pan. Gently layer the cream cheese filling over it. Add the remaining pumpkin batter on top, spreading gently to cover. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the surface.

Bake the cake for 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Once baked, allow the cake to cool completely in the pan.

Finally, dust the cooled cake with powdered sugar before serving.
