Deliciously moist and tender, this Pumpkin Crumb Snack Cake is like fall on a plate!

It’s time folks. I’m bringin’ on the pumpkin!

Who’s ready?

This easy Pumpkin Crumb Snack Cake is my first pumpkin recipe of the season, and surely won’t be my last.

Why oh why can’t pumpkin be a year round thing?

It just doesn’t seem fair that it’s really only enjoyed for a few short months of the year. Don’t ya think?

Truth be told, I’ve always got a can or two in my pantry for when the craving hits.

I shared this snack cake with a few neighbors and it was a big hit.

It’s a moist pumpkin cake made with double the pumpkin. Pure pumpkin and some pumpkin pie spice. It’s like fall on a plate guys.

I decided to use cake flour instead of all-purpose flour to give the cake a fine crumb and a nice tender texture.

And I had to go with a crumb topping because you know it’s something I absolutely can’t resist. It’s a simple combination of flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon and butter and always makes any cake extra special.

This cake works perfectly for breakfast with your coffee or tea or as a dessert, plain or with a side of vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!

A Few Cook’s Notes for Pumpkin Crumb Snack Cake Recipe:

I used cake flour for this recipe so the cake would have a finer crumb and tender texture, but you can also use all-purpose flour.

You will need to use pure pumpkin for this recipe, not pumpkin pie filling. I use Libby’s.

    LOVE that crumb topping! I’d eat cardboard it it were topped with crumbs. But I’d much rather eat this than eat cardboard–it looks delicious!

    Such a dreamy cake, Mare! And that you used cake flour, the crumb must be incredibly tender and light. I do love pumpkin season too!! I just picked up pie pumpkins this weekend from the farm and am looking forward to roasting them up! A cake has been on my mind, but alas, I’m trying to perfect pumpkin muffins – lol!
