Yeah . . . it might be spring where you are, but that’s no excuse to turn your back on this luscious cinnamon pumpkin coffee cake!

This cake! The cream cheese layer is so good I just want to grab a spoon and go to town! Don't wait for fall -- pumpkin's good year-round! | The Recipe Wench

Yes.  Luscious.  I said it because it’s true!  I wouldn’t lie.

The cream cheese layer is definitely my favorite part.  Definitely.  Or maybe it’s the pumpkin pie spice?  Or streusel topping?

Whatever, folks. This works!

Thankfully Jeff works with a happy crowd of people who are enthusiastic about sampling baked goods.

I did, however, keep a few pieces back home.  You know, for emergency sweet cravings!

Enjoy! – The Recipe Wench

Cinnamon Pumpkin Coffee Cake
Serves 28
Prep time 15 minutes
Cook time 40 minutes
Total time 55 minutes
Meal type Dessert
Cinnamon pumpkin coffee cake is extra special with a cream cheese layer and streusel topping. Can't find cinnamon chips? No worries -- chocolate chips can easily be used instead!

Ingredients

Cake

  • 2 Cups whole wheat flour (you can substitute all purpose if you like)
  • 1 Tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 2-3 Teaspoons cinnamon (use if you are substituting chocolate chips for the cinnamon chips)
  • 2 Teaspoons baking soda
  • 1/2 Teaspoon salt
  • 1- 15 ounce can pumpkin
  • 1-1/2 Cups sugar
  • 1/2 Cup sour cream
  • 1/4 Cup vegetable oil
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 Cup cinnamon chips (Can't find cinnamon chips? You can absolutely substitute chocolate chips!)

Cream Cheese Layer

  • 1- 8 ounce package cream cheese (softened)
  • 1/4 Cup sugar
  • 1 Teaspoon vanilla extract

Streusel Topping

  • 1/2 Cup whole wheat flour (you can substitute all purpose if you prefer)
  • 1/4 Cup sugar
  • 1/4 Cup butter, cold

Note

This coffee cake has a nice, rich, moist texture thanks to the cream cheese layer.  A 9x13 pan will yield nearly 29 portions at 2x2.  This is a great cake to take to an office gathering or potluck!

Enjoy! - The Recipe Wench

      I prefer it at room temp, but it's also good straight out of the fridge!

    This recipe sounds so delicious! Do you bake the cream cheese with the rest of the cake? Looking forward to giving this a try!

      Yes, Martina! You first pour the cake mixture into the baking pan. Then you top with the cream cheese mixture. And you finish it all with the streusel topping. Let me know how it goes!
