Since I love coffee cake and cream cheese pie, it was kind of a no brainer from that point on to create this Pumpkin Pie Coffee Cake. I took a basic quick bread recipe , added pumpkin, a cheesecake layer and the crumb topping from my Apple Spice Crumb Muffins to create a dessert that I am head over heals for. To make the topping: Whisk together the sugar, salt, flour, spice, and nuts. Add the melted butter, stirring just until well combined.

The cake itself is not like your normal cake. It's a cross between a pumpkin pie filling and a cake, which sounds weird but is actually quite delightful. The cake, thanks to the two full cans of pumpkin, is super moist and dense, like a custard, but not quite so heavy. As you can see, this Easy Pumpkin Coffee Cake Recipe, is um, super easy to make. But it's even easier to eat. 😉 Because of the pumpkin, this coffee cake is insanely moist and I just LOVE the crunch from the pecans, and helloooo maple glaze.
