Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all -purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large egg s
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup all -purpose flour for topping
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking pan with butter or non-stick spray.
  • Prepare the streusel topping by mixing brown sugar, 1/2 cup flour, and cinnamon in a bowl; cut in cold cubed butter using a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.
  • In a large bowl or stand mixer, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition.
  • Incorporate the pumpkin puree, sour cream, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined to avoid overworking the gluten.
  • Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  • Distribute the streusel topping uniformly over the batter.
  • Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the cake to cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
