Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x13 inch cake pan by greasing it with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of brown sugar, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt, 1 tablespoon of cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon of pumpkin pie spice. Mix well and stir in 1 stick of melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Cover and refrigerate the streusel.
  3. In a separate large bowl, whisk together 2 1/4 cups of flour, 1 1/2 cups of granulated sugar, 2 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1 teaspoon of kosher salt, 1 tablespoon of cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon of pumpkin pie spice. Add 1 stick of softened butter and 1 cup of pumpkin puree. Mix until combined, then whisk 3 eggs, 1/4 cup of oil, and 2 tablespoons of vanilla in another bowl. Gradually add to the dry ingredients, mixing until light and fluffy.
  4. Spread about 2 cups of the batter evenly into the greased pan. Sprinkle 1 cup of streusel over the batter, then add another 2 cups of the pumpkin coffee cake batter on top. Repeat the layering process until all the batter and streusel are used, reserving some streusel for the final topping.
  5. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes. Remove the cake momentarily and sprinkle the reserved streusel on top. Continue baking for an additional 10-15 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. While the cake cools, mix together 1/2 stick of softened butter, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, a pinch of salt, and 2 cups of powdered sugar. Gradually add milk until the icing reaches a smooth, drizzly consistency.
  7. Once the cake has cooled, drizzle the prepared icing over the top. Allow it to set for a few moments before slicing into squares.
