If you don’t have a can of pumpkin puree in your home, run out to the store and get it NOW!
Ok sorry! I’m just sooo excited how this turned out!
It’s incredibly moist, has perfect pumpkin flavor, yummy pecans
Be warned…It will drive you crazy when you’re baking it, because the aroma of the pumpkin cake smells so good wafting through the house! When it comes out of the oven, get that coffee brewing, because you aren’t going to want to wait.

Unless, you’re making it for someone else, then you’re pretty much screwed. Whaaa? The odds not in your favor? Well, you could always make two… 🙂

Hmm that’s awesome. i want to have one! This is one of my favorite cake ever! How fun!
It’s super yummy! You should try it! Thanks for stopping by!
Just made the coffee cake. What do you consider prep time? It took me at least 45 minutes from start to the oven. This time did not include the topping. Please let me know if the 10 minute time included just mixing and not chopping and measuring, etc.
Joanne, glad you brought that up. So sorry. Actually, the time I had was way off, so thank you for the feedback. The nuts are a rough chop, which I changed from chopped, and my time for prepping from start to finish was about 40 minutes, not including the browned butter glaze. But, I always have my ingredients out and ready to go, but not measured. 🙂
Do you mean, do not eat cake for 3 days (that’s why it’s in a sealed container)?
Hi Colleen, It stays fresh being sealed, depending if you have leftovers up to 3 days after you make it. Enjoy!
Whoa! I need a piece of this ASAP! Thanks for linkin’ up with What’s Cookin’ Wednesday!
Thank you Karly! It’s a keeper!
