INGREDIENTS YOU NEED:

- Baking Soda
- Baking powder

TIPS FOR THE BEST PUMPKIN BUTTER CAKES
- Use Ingredients at room temperature: This allows the batter to mix evenly, creating a smoother texture.
- Carefully brown the butter: Cook the butter over medium heat until it turns golden brown and smells nutty. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
- Do not overmix the batter: Once the wet and dry ingredients have been combined, mix until there is no more flour. Overmixing can make the cake dense.
- Use pure pumpkin puree: Be sure to use unsweetened pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, for a better pumpkin flavor.
- Chill the streusel: Before baking, chill the streusel topping in the refrigerator. This will prevent the cake from getting too soft and will allow it to stay crumbly.
- Check the doneness early: Every oven is different, so start checking the cake a few minutes before the suggested baking time. A toothpick should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs attached.

Ingredients
FOR THE BATTER
- 230 g all-purpose flour
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
BROWN BUTTER STREUSEL
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
MAPLE GLAZE
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2-3 tbsp maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Start by browning the butter for the streusel.
- In a small pan over medium heat, melt the butter, stirring occasionally. Once it foams and subsides, you’ll be left with a golden, nutty-smelling butter. Transfer it to a bowl and refrigerate while you prepare the batter.
- In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, brown sugar, eggs, pumpkin purée, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add the dry ingredients—flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, baking powder, and salt—and stir until just combined.
- Line a 9"x5" loaf pan with parchment paper and pour the batter in.
- For the streusel, take the cooled brown butter and mix it with flour, brown sugar, and pumpkin pie spice. Use your hands or a mixer to combine until the mixture holds together but crumbles easily. Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the batter.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- While the loaf cools, make the glaze by whisking powdered sugar and maple syrup together until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled loaf or individual slices. Enjoy!
