Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease a 9-inch square or springform baking pan with nonstick spray. Set aside.
  • Make the crumb topping first: In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon together. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or a fork. Mix to create clumps and crumbs. Set aside.
  • For the cake: In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger until combined. In another bowl, whisk the pumpkin, brown sugar, oil, maple syrup, and milk until combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Spoon the batter into the prepared baking pan. Spread to make an even surface. Pour the crumb topping evenly on top and gently press them down into the batter.

Notes

Optional: Serve with a drizzle of vanilla icing for extra sweetness.
