Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350F degrees.
Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with and lightly flour. Make sure the sides of your baking pan are at least 2 inches tall. Otherwise, the cake may overflow.
Make the Streusel
In a medium-sized bowl stir together the melted butter, flour, sugars & cinnamon until the consistency feels like wet sand.
Make the Cake
In a medium-sized bowl whisk together the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
In a separate large bowl beat together the oil, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla, pumpkin and sour cream using until no lumps remain.
Pour the flour mixture into the pumpkin mixture and gently stir everything together using a large rubber spatula or wooden spoon. If needed, give the mixture a few whisks until smooth.
Pour the cake batter into your prepared pan and smooth out the top.
Then crumble the streusel topping over the top until the entire cake batter is covered.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the cake no longer wobbles in the middle and an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
Make the Glaze & Serve
In a small bowl whisk together the heaving cream & icing sugar until smooth. You may need to add a little extra cream or a little extra icing sugar to get the desired consistency.
Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake and slice into pieces. Recipe and Photo Credit: Pumpkin Coffee Cake - Just so Tasty
