Ingredients
  

Streusel Topping

  • 8 tbsp Butter, salted can use unsalted
  • 1 1/2 cups GF Flour Or regular all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup Light Brown Sugar
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp Salt

For The Cake

  • 1 3/4 Cup Gluten-Free Flour
  • 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp Ground Cloves
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 Cup Canned pumpkin puree Do not use pumpkin pie mix
  • 1 1/2 Cup Sugar
  • 1/2 Cup Canola or Vegetable Oil
  • 2 Large Eggs, lightly beaten

Vanilla Glaze

  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 tbsp Milk

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9-inch square or round baking pan with parchment paper or grease and flour the pan.

Make The Streusel Topping

  • Heat 8 tbsp of butter in a medium size saucepan or in a large bowl in the microwave.
  • Stir in the 1 1/2 cups of gluten-free flour, 1/2 cup of light brown sugar, 1 tsp of cinnamon, and 1/4 tsp of salt.
  • Mix with a fork to combine. If the mixture is really soft place it into the refrigerator while making the cake batter.

Make The Cake

  • To a large bowl, combine 1 3/4 cups of Gluten-Free Flour, 1/2 tsp of baking soda, 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp each of nutmeg, cinnamon and ground cloves, and 1 tsp of salt.
  • In a separate bowl whisk together 1 cup of pumpkin puree, 1 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup canola oil, and 2 large eggs.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently combine.
  • Pour the batter into prepared pan and sprinkle the top with the streusel topping.
  • Bake 45-55 or until tester comes out clean. Make sure the center of the cake is firm to touch and not jiggly.
  • If topping starts to get too brown, cover it with foil and continue to bake until baked through.
  • Let the cake completely cool.

Make The Glaze

  • In a small bowl combine 1 cup of powdered sugar, 1 tsp of vanilla extract, and 1 tbsp of milk of choice. Whisk until the glaze is smooth, thick but still a bit pourable. If the glaze is too thick add a tiny bit of milk at a time to get to the desired consistency.
  • Drizzle the glaze over the cake and let it set.

Notes

Make sure the center of the cake is firm and not jiggly and the tester inserted comes out clean.
