Pumpkin Breakfast Cake



You can make it the night before so in the morning all you have to do is throw it in the oven! YUMMY.  
  • 3/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
Streusel Topping:
  • 1/2 cup oats {I used old fashioned}
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup cold butter
Glaze:
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 TBSP milk
Combine all ingredients for cake, mix well and pour into a 9x13 pan. Blend streusel topping, cutting in the cold butter until mixture is crumbly. {I use a fork and a knife to do this since I don't have a pastry cutter.}Sprinkle across top of unbaked cake.
Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean. Allow to cool for about 10 minutes. While cooling, whisk the powdered sugar and milk. Drizzle all over cake and allow it to cool for another 10-15 minutes. Enjoy!
