The nicely spiced streusel in the center of this cake is a marvelous surprise and complement to the cinnamony pumpkin cake. It's delicious for breakfast or dessert.—Elaine Holmberg, Norfolk, Nebraska
Ingredients:
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
1-1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
2-1/2 teaspoons cold butter
batter:
1 cup butter, softened
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream
1 cup canned pumpkin
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
glaze:
1-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons orange juice
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon and allspice. Cut in butter until crumbly; set aside.
2. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the sour cream, pumpkin and vanilla. Combine the flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture.
3. Pour half of the batter into a greased 10-in. fluted tube pan. Sprinkle with reserved crumb mixture; top with remaining batter. Bake at 350° for 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
4. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely. Combine glaze ingredients; drizzle over cooled cake. Yield: 12 servings.
