TO MAKE THE CRUMB TOPPING:<\/p>\n
Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F and spray a 9\u00d79 square or 9\u00d713 rectangle pan with baking spray and set aside.<\/p>\n
In a bowl whisk together flour, light brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.<\/p>\n
Cut in the small cubes of butter by using a pastry cutter or using your hands, blending the butter into the dry ingredients. Mix until you can form big crumbs, set aside.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
TO MAKE THE CAKE:<\/p>\n
In one bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves, set aside.<\/p>\n
In another bowl whisk pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, and sugar.<\/p>\n
Add in eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Add in vanilla.<\/p>\n
Add in the dry ingredients in 3 additions alternating with buttermilk in 2 additions, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients.<\/p>\n
Pour cake batter into prepared pan and add crumble on top, gently pressing the crumble into the batter.<\/p>\n
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean with a few moist, not wet crumbs. (For a 9\u00d713 pan check for doneness at 20 to 25 minutes). Let it cool partially before adding the glaze.<\/p>\n
TO MAKE THE GLAZE:<\/p>\n
Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until it\u2019s smooth and lump free. Drizzle onto the still warm crumb cake. Slice, serve, and enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
