  • 2 tablespoons canned pumpkin (do not use pumpkin pie filling)

  • 1 large egg yolk

US - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray a ramekin or small baking dish with oil spray and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and spices.
  • In a separate small bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, melted butter, egg yolk, and milk.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
  • Transfer the batter to a buttered 10-ounce ramekin, spreading it evenly.
  • In a small bowl, mix the streusel ingredients until crumbly.
  • Spoon the streusel over the cake batter, spreading it evenly across the top.
  • Bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Remove from the oven and place on a baking rack to cool.
    Run a knife around the rim of the ramekin and remove the coffee cake from the dish. Enjoy warm.

Notes

  • Pick the Right Ramekin: Use a 10-ounce ramekin that’s about 4 inches wide and 1 ¾ inches tall. A larger dish will spread the batter thinner and bake faster, while a smaller one will create a thicker cake that may need more time in the oven.
  • Mix Gently: Stir the ingredients just until combined. Overmixing can lead to a dense cake instead of a light, fluffy texture.
  • Measure Flour Accurately: Use the spoon-and-level method. Spoon the flour into your measuring cup until it overflows slightly, then level it off with the straight edge of a knife for precision.
