Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment, leaving a little overhang for easy lifting.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and oil until sandy and cohesive. Add eggs, pumpkin puree, sour cream, and vanilla. Whisk until smooth.
- Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients with a spatula until just combined. A few small lumps are fine; do not overmix.
Streusel
- In a bowl, stir together the flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add melted butter and mix with a fork until clumpy.
- Fold in nuts if using, creating big, chunky clusters.
Assembly and Baking
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle the streusel evenly, squeezing some into larger clumps.
- Bake for 35–42 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. The edges should look set and the streusel golden.
- Cool in the pan for 20–30 minutes before preparing the glaze.
Glazing
- Whisk the glaze ingredients to a drizzle-able consistency and zigzag it over the top. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 2 days. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
