I certainly have been into the pumpkins this season and next on my list was this recipe for a sour cream pumpkin coffeecake that I recently saw on Megan’s Cookin . You just can’t go wrong with coffeecakes and with the layer of pumpkin and a streusel topping I immediatly knew that I would have to make this one. I used the recipe pretty much as it was, though I replaced some of the flour with whole wheat flour and of course I used my own home made pumpkin puree . The ingredient list may be a little long but this coffeecake is pretty easy to make with the hardest part being waiting for it to cool down enough to get into it. The coffeecake was nice and light and the layer of pumpkin kept it nice and moist. I really enjoyed the layer of pumpkin pie filling and using part of the streusel topping with the pumpkin layer was a nice touch. I am looking forward to breakfasts this week!

That is such a beautiful coffee cake. Love the middle layer.
This coffee cake is one for the books Kevin. I love it's layers of incredible flavour.
they look lovely. very creative indeed 🙂
Looks delicious!
Indulgent and delicious,what a great recipe! can't wait to try them!
Nice! You are right, you can't go wrong with this recipe.
I love coffee cakes and any thing pumpkin. I can't wait to try this. Looks delicious.
I'm so glad you made this coffeecake. It's one of my very favorites and I've been making it for years. The ingredient list does look long now that I look at it but it is really easy. Glad you enjoyed and thanks for the shoutout!
Now, I'll go back to my boring cereal 😉
Wow! This looks absolutely delicious! Can't wait to make this. What size pan did you bake in? Cheers from NYC.
OMG, that coffee cake is fabulous! So scrumptious looking!
Cheers,
Rosa
Love this cake!
O. M. G. This looks absolutely amazing! So gorgeous, and looks delicious! 🙂
Wow Kevin!!! this is amazing!! and look delicious! xxgloria
Buonissima!
That's a perfect Fall dessert Kevin!
Delish!! Can I have two LARGE slices please. One for me and one for my…er…friends. Yeah that it. One for my friend. ;-D
This recipe combines two of my most favorite things! YUM!!!
Wow, YUM! This looks much better than the pumpkin coffee cake I made today, which, sadly, did not have a layer of pumpkin pie filling.
That is a lot of ingredients, but it makes for a great cake. The middle layer is perfect!
Oh my goodness, that looks amazing. I have to make this.
This looks wonderful. I love the filling.
Ever since I mad persimmon coffee cake (http://www.jessicasdinnerparty.com/2009/11/persimmon-coffee-cake-and-nablopomo/) I've been cooking for other unique coffee cake pairings! This one looks great!
Nina: I used an 8 inch square baking pan and the coffeecake was really tall! A 9×13 inch baking pan would probably be better.
I love how you did the layers- so even! Sour cream, coffee and pumpkin-what a great combi.. well done kelvin!
Looks delicious Kevin!
I actually made this as well. It wasn"t a huge hit in my house but I'm glad you enjoyed it.
I love Fall season for recipes like this.
This sounds great, I'll have to try it!
Yum! I've never had coffee cake with a pumpkin filling. That looks great!
This looks amazing Kevin! Love the toppings and middle layer!
You are so creative, Kevin.
I am trying your recipe.
Thanks for sharing.
This looks great, Kevin! Can't wait to try it out. 😀
I wish I had seen this last weekend because this is the exact kind of coffee cake I was craving. I may have to make this while visiting family for Thanksgiving.
Kevin, This looks fantastic. What a great combo of flavors! – mary the food librarian
Wow this looks amazing! I love pumpkin and I love coffee cake.
Made this tonight to bring to the in-laws tomorrow, let's hope it's a hit!
I saved this recipe since I hadn't had a chance to use any pumpkin this fall season. I made it last night, and unfortunately it probably won't be repeat experience. It's not an untasty cake, but it's just not good enough to be worth it.
I was confused about what size of pan to cook it in… I first tried a 9×13, but there didn't seem to be enough batter for two layers, so then I tried a 9×9, but then there was too much pumpkin and streudel. Since baking, I assume a 9×13 pan was correct because the batter lofts quite a lot.
My roommate didn't enjoy the texture, and I wish I had added less clove. It was a slighlty involved cake and the layers were fun because of the novelty, but I think I'll find something else to do with pumpkin next time.
This cake was amazing, all the people I served it to raved about it. I did make it in a 9×13 pan, and though the bottom layer is very thin and the top layer (of batter) is somewhat sparse, it comes out perfectly in the end. Cooked it for about 37+ minutes. Thank you for sharing!
I also went with the 9×13 and while it seemed sparse when I put it on, it turned out fantastic. So very moist and the contrast of the soft, warm pumpkin and the crunchy strudel on top was terrific. Gladly make it again.
Easy to make, really good and original for a dessert. I used red kuri squash because pumpkin is not easy to find where I live. It added a nice chestnut flavor going perfectly with the chopped nuts.
this recipe looks excellent, but the recipe's super unclear. i mixed all the ingredients wrong because i wasn't sure how many eggs to add to which batter, and that was the least of my confusion! maybe chalk it up to inexperience, but i wish the measurements were more clearly stated in the stepwise directions. ):
Anonymous: I try to keep all of the ingredients in the order that they appear in the directions. This way you can easily just go down the list from top to bottom as you encounter them in the directions.
Do you have to refrigerate leftovers? That pumpkin layer sounds rather like pumpkin pie filling, and we always refrigerate pumpkin pies. I do wish every recipe was required to list how to store leftovers. so many recipes like carrot cake with cream cheese icing, pecan pies and lemon bars with their eggy filling, marble swirl brownies with cream cheese swirl inside… they probably always need to be refrigerated, but most recipes do not say what to do, yet on something obvious like cheesecake, will say store leftovers in fridge. What is your thinking on these types of desserts?
Diane: Yes, you should store this in the fridge. This coffee cake is also really nice for breakfasts!
I absolutely love your recipes and try to follow most of them.. I am a vegetarian, and do not consume egg as well.. I find it difficult to follow few recipes where the number of eggs used are more than 2, as in that case it becomes difficult to use a replacement.
Could you please share few eggless bakes.. specially this coffee cake sounds awesome and I so want to try this one.. Would it be possible for you to come up with an eggless coffee cake recipe ?
Please do share few eggless bakes from you.
Nidhi: Thanks! I have tried making baked goods healthier by cutting back on fats and sugars but I have not tried removing eggs yet. I will definitely have to look into it!
Is the brown sugar supposed to be included in step 6?
chaplintramp: Yes, good catch! I have updated the recipe.
It makes me slobbery!I think I should make some and store them in the refrigerator!!!
I made this fabulous cake and it was AMAZING! I used 100% all- purpose flour and I didn't have cloves so I used all spice instead. Thank you for this recipe. I posted about it on my blog today. 🙂

I'm looking forward to trying some of your other recipes!
Definitely worth to bookmark
This was a delicious addition to our night party.
Would love to make this in a springform pan. What size pan would I use? 8″, 9 or 10″? Also, could I use buttermilk instead of the sour cream?
Use the 9″ pan. I would replace the sour cream with 3/4 cup buttermilk and 1/4 cup softened butter. Enjoy!
