Pumpkin Streusel Cake
Have you made all your goodies with pumpkin yet? Looking for a really good pumpkin recipe? Or an incredible dessert for this Thanksgiving? Look no further. You have to bake this Pumpkin Streusel Cake. I made this cake recently for a United Way bake sale and it was fantastic. Very moist, and full of those fall flavors.
So, how’s it taste?
The cake only has cinnamon, but the streusel has pumpkin pie spice and more cinnamon. You get a bite of that sugary streusel and the spice just hits you. It’s the perfect fall dessert. So simple and elegant, but it packs a punch with flavor. If you only make one dessert with pumpkin this fall, make sure it’s this one.
