Say hello to the fall cake of my dreams: Pumpkin Crumb Cake. 🍂 With a tender cake with the flavor of pumpkin pie, and a thick and messy crumb topping, I just can’t get enough! 🧡 🎃 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ✖️RECIPE for Pumpkin Crumb Cake: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Cake ingredients: 3 flax eggs, 3 Tbsp ground flax seeds soaked in 9 Tbsp warm water 1 cup pumpkin purée 1/3 cup melted refined coconut oil or canola oil 1/2 cup maple syrup 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 1/2 cups flour or 1 1/3 cup GF 1:1 flour blend 1 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice 1 tsp baking soda 1 1/2 tsp baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Crumb Topping Ingredients: 1 cup almond flour 1 cup flour 1/2 cup coconut sugar 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice 6 Tablespoons melted refined coconut oil 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 4 Tablespoons maple syrup ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9”x 9” cake pan with parchment paper. In a medium bowl mix your flax seeds and water. Set aside for a few minutes while you gather your other ingredients. Now grab your bowl with the flax eggs and add the pumpkin, oil, maple syrup and vanilla and mix well. In a large bowl whisk flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and stir in wet ingredients until just blended. Pour into your parchment lined baking dish. Set aside. Now make your crumb topping. In a medium bowl whisk together the almond flour, flour, coconut sugar and pumpkin pie spice. In a small bowl whisk coconut oil, vanilla extract and maple syrup. Pour oil mixture over flour mixture and mix with a fork until crumb topping forms. Using your fingers, pinch crumb topping into chunks and press gently into the pumpkin cake batter. Bake for 35-40 minutes, taking care not to burn the crumb topping. Enjoy!
