Pumpkin Crumb Cake

October 25, 2013 by The Emotional Baker 11 Comments

Pumpkin Crumb Cake

When I first set out to bake with pumpkin, I couldn’t decide what I wanted to make. I wanted some type of bar, but I couldn’t figure out what. Then I started dreaming about crumb cake, and thus, this recipe was born.

The cake is comprised of a yeasted dough. The pumpkin flavor stands out without being hidden by lots of sugar. If you’re looking for a super sweet crumb cake, this is not it. However, the top crumb is the perfect complement.

The top bites, with just some crumb and dough, are perfect. The sweet crumb perfectly highlights the natural pumpkin flavor.

Next time, I might try a higher ratio of crumb to dough, but I bet any combo would be delicious.

    The cake looks so good! And I was pleasantly surprised to see the almond milk in it. I love almond milk and always have it on hand. The streusel topping looks amazing, as well.

But never fear, just scoop the remaining in a microwave safe bowl, microwave for a minute, and enjoy. ‘Cause you have to taste test anyway right? 😜

Happy 4th of July! Hope it’s as great as you are! ❤️🇺🇸

Perfect. • It’s something we try so hard to ac Perfect.
•
It’s something we try so hard to achieve.
•
But at times it can leave us feeling tired, unworthy, and not “as good” as our peers.
•
Trying to get the perfect photo, something I use to love to do, started to drain me out more than fill me up.
•
So I haven’t been taking as many photos.
•
Getting the perfect photo would lead to my family eating cold pancakes while I tried to get that award winning shot. Or an hour of clean up picking up all the leftover sprinkles I used for my fancy backdrop.
•
So this Easter I kept things easy. I shot a few quick photos of these Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls with my iPhone and left my DSLR and natural light to the side.
•
The Emotional Baker of a year ago would gasp that I’m posting this photo.
•
But here’s the truth: Every day’s perfect, even if it goes unplanned. Every meal, every moment with loved ones, every walk, everything you do each and everyday is perfect. And just as it’s intended to be.
•
Here’s to a day of finding bliss in the imperfect and knowing it truly is perfect just as it is.
•
Happy Easter!
•
Love, Megan - The Emotional Baker 💖🐰😘

Every year I look forward to a round cookie, with icing, and crunchy sprinkles. This year my cookies got a bit of an update thanks to @freshaprilflours and @fancysprinkles.

My wish for you this Christmas is that you can savor the simple things, find peace and feel the love that surrounds you every day.

All my love,
