This Simple Pumpkin Spiced Coffee Cake is a simple yet delicious twist on classic coffee cake. This fall breakfast treat will please everyone.
There is only one time a year when JELL-O comes out with their Pumpkin Spiced instant pudding and this is that time! I look forward to this time of year for just this reason… (well, maybe a few more). Three years ago I stocked up on these after Thanksgiving when they were in the markdown bin. I made the pudding and none of my kids liked it.
So what to do with it? Make a coffee cake I suppose! It was a hit. I love to give this to neighbors around Thanksgiving as a “thankful for you treat”. Now that I know these make delish coffee cakes, I buy them up all season so I can make this amazing coffee cake all year long.
Enjoy! XOXO San
How do you make Simple Pumpkin Spiced Coffee Cake?
-
Preheat oven to 350; grease 9×13 metal pan.
-
Mix all the ingredients for the cake in a mixer for 7 minutes (this is key to make the pudding set). I love to use my Kitchen Aid mixer for this!
-
Meanwhile, mix together brown sugar, cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice in a bowl.
-
Once the cake is done mixing for 7 minutes, pour half of the batter in the greased 9×13 metal pan. Sprinkle 1/2 of the brown sugar mix over the cake in the pan.
-
Pour the remaining batter on and sprinkle with remaining sugar.
-
Place in oven and bake 25-35 minutes or until the cake is set and is pulling away from the edges. Let it completely cool so it does crumble when you cut and serve it.
My favorite kitchen tools used to make Simple Pumpkin Spiced Coffee Cake
This post may contain affiliate links. See my Full Disclosure for further details.
9×13 BAKING PAN: I use my 9×13 baking pans all the time. Dinner, cakes and even for play dough fun, these are a kitchen must have in our home. I prefer the dark pans over glass pan – all because I feel like they cook more evenly, but this is just my own personal thought.
KITCHENAID MIXER: I love my Kitchenaid mixer and use it almost daily. For cookies, breads, sauces, frostings and dough – I find many recipes that I can use my KitchenAid to reduce prep time. I have two that I couldn’t live without. I use this for my coffee cake because it takes 7 minutes to mix – and I can do other things, while my KitchenAid works it magic.
HAND MIXER: These are great for small batches or quick and easy recipes that don’t require a lot of ingredients. I love that you can have so many color options now. Personally, I love teal.
