Ingredients

  • *for the cake batter*
  • 1 cup pumpkin purée
  • ⅓ cup melted vegan butter
  • ¾ cup packed brown sugar
  • ¾ cup full fat coconut milk can substitute with other non-dairy milk
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice extract can substitute with pumpkin spice mix
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • *for the middle layer*
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • *for the topping*
  • 2.5 tablespoons melted butter this should be the rest of the stick after you have used ⅓ cup for the cake batter
  • ⅓ cup flour
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ cup walnuts chopped (can substitute with pecans or other nut of choice)
  • *for the glaze*
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoon nondairy milk
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F and spray or butter an 8 x 8 baking pan
  • In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin purée with the melted butter, brown sugar, and coconut milk. Mix together and stir in the pumpkin spice, vanilla, and cinnamon.
  • Gently fold in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until batter is just combined. It will be thick.
  • Spread half of the cake batter into your prepared pan.
  • Make the filling for the middle layer. In a small bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Sprinkle the mixture on top of your cake.
  • Spread your remaining cake batter on top, then prepare the topping. In a small bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nuts. Mix in the melted butter and combine until the mixture is clumpy and crumbly. Sprinkle on top of the cake.
  • Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 45 min. I covered mine after about 35 min so it didn’t get too brown on top.
  • To serve, top with powdered sugar or the glaze.
  • For the glaze, just mix the powdered sugar with the milk, adding it a little bit at a time. You may or may not need it all. Stir in the vanilla extract, then drizzle on your coffee cake. Enjoy!
