Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup whole milk, room temperature
  • 15 oz can pumpkin puree
  • 12 oz can evaporated milk
  • 3 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup cold unsalted butter, diced
  • 3/4 cup chopped pecans

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch pan. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and 1 cup sugar until fluffy. Add the 2 eggs one at a time, then the 2 teaspoons vanilla. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients and milk in alternating additions, just until smooth.
  3. Whisk the pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, 3 eggs, 3/4 cup sugar, pumpkin pie spice, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl until smooth.
  4. Spread the cake batter in the pan. Slowly pour the pumpkin custard over the back of a spoon to cover the batter without mixing the layers.
  5. Mix the 1/2 cup flour and brown sugar for the streusel; cut in the cold butter until crumbly, then stir in the pecans. Sprinkle evenly over the pumpkin layer.
  6. Bake 45 to 55 minutes until the topping is golden and the center no longer jiggles. Cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Let the cake rest after baking so the pumpkin layer fully sets. Slice it while hot and the custard will be looser and harder to cut neatly. A quick chill in the fridge firms it up if you’re short on time.
