I must say my initial taste of this coffee cake was not good, but I believe it was because I did not know what size pan to bake it in and chose a 9x9 pan, since the serving size was 9 pieces. However, this coffee cake ended up too thick, and the pumpkin layer was just too thick and overpowering. I used fresh pumpkin puree from a beautiful pumpkin, but the pure layer of it, when hot from oven was too pumpkin-y! Nonetheless, after I let it sit in the refrigerator for a day, the cold coffee cake was really delicious; the streusel layers really came out then, and the cold pumpkin was creamy like pie. I will make this again in a 13x9 pan, but maybe add extra streusel since I'll have more cake to cover.
