Apple Pumpkin Crumb Cake

I made this cake over the weekend for my groom! The pumpkin puree with the addition of shredded apple makes this cake incredibly moist, and who doesn’t love a crumb topping? 

For the cake:

• 2 cups flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• ¾ cup granualted sugar
• ⅓ cup vegetable oil
• ½ cup milk
• 1 egg
• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 1 cup apple, grated (about 1 large apple)

For the topping:

• ¾ cup flour
• 6 tablespoons butter
• ½ cup brown sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon

1. Preheat oven to 350º, grease an 8″x8″ pan. In a small bowl combine flour, baking powder, salt, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon and set aside.

2. In a large bowl, whisk sugar, vegetable oil, milk, egg, and pumpkin puree together. Stir in flour mixture, then fold in grated apple. Pour into pan, and smooth out with a spatula.

3. In a separate bowl, add the ingredients for the crumb topping. Use a fork to work the butter into the flour, sugar, and cinnamon. Sprinkle over the batter. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes – test with a toothpick. Let cool on a baking rack. Serves 12.
