Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×13 pan with butter or nonstick spray.
- Make streusel: Mix flour, sugars, salt, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice. Stir in melted butter until mixture is crumbly. Set aside.
- Dry cake mix: In a bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon.
- Add softened butter and half the pumpkin puree, mixing until crumbly.
- In another bowl, whisk remaining pumpkin puree, eggs, oil, and vanilla. Gradually add to flour mixture until smooth and fluffy.
- Assemble layers: Spread 2 cups batter into pan. Sprinkle 1 cup streusel. Spread 2 more cups batter, then another 1 cup streusel. Add remaining batter and top with 2 cups streusel.
- Bake 35 minutes. Quickly add remaining streusel, then bake another 10–15 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool 15–20 minutes.
- Make icing: Beat butter, vanilla, salt, milk, and powdered sugar until smooth. Drizzle over cooled cake.
Notes
- Do not substitute pumpkin pie filling for pumpkin puree.
- Streusel can be prepared a day ahead and refrigerated.
- Store leftovers covered at room temperature for 2–3 days or refrigerate up to 5 days.
