Which ingredients do you need to make Pecan Pumpkin Coffee Cake?

Key Ingredients
Pumpkin puree: Gives the coffee cake its signature pumpkin flavor, moisture, and beautiful color. Use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling. My Pumpkin Sugar Cookies with Cream Cheese Frosting are another delicious way to enjoy pumpkin.
Brown sugar: Adds a rich, caramel-like sweetness and extra moisture to the cake while creating a delicious crumbly topping.
Ground cinnamon: Brings warm, sweet spice that pairs beautifully with pumpkin and makes this coffee cake perfect for fall.
Unsalted butter: Creates a rich, buttery flavor and helps form a crunchy, crumbly pecan topping.
Pecans: Add a delicious nutty flavor and crunchy texture to the topping. They also pair beautifully with pumpkin in my Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars.

How to prepare Easy Pecan Pumpkin Coffee Cake?

Start by combining all purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon and ground nutmeg. In a separate dish, mix pumpkin puree, milk, vegetable oil and vanilla until it becomes smooth.

Then, add dry ingredients and mix some more, until it's well combined and then spread the batter into 9 inch cake pan or spring form pan. Next, combine flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and melted butter, fold in chopped pecans and spread over the batter in the cake pan. Bake the cake at 350 F for about 40 min or until the toothpick comes out clean or with a few crumbs on it.
