Pumpkin Streusel Coffee Cake

superblondieno2's Note:

a scrumptious coffeecake good for anytime of the year. Just be careful that you don't under bake it. I thought I cooked it long enough, but it turned out that I didn't and it was quite soft in the middle. That didn't affect the taste however!

This cake is absolutely FANTASTIC. Was looking for something other than Pumpkin pie & this serves the bill. I too made it in 8 x 8 baking dish & it came out great. Thank you so much for sharing it with us all!

Oh boy, this is really good! Not overly sweet, and nice and spicy. You could even add a dash of cloves and nutmeg to spice it up a bit more. Makes up perfectly in a square brownie pan.
