Pumpkin Spice Latte Cake

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Pumpkin Spice Latte Cake.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and greasing a 9x13-inch baking pan to ensure your delicious creation doesn’t stick.

2. Step 2

   In a large bowl, let’s whip up the irresistible streusel topping.

3. Step 3

   Combine flour, dark brown sugar, espresso powder, cocoa powder, pumpkin pie spice, a splash of vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.

4. Step 4

   Now, cut in the cubed butter until the mixture resembles those delightful coarse crumbs we all love.

5. Step 5

   Set this aside for now; it’s going to add a wonderful crunch to your cake.

6. Step 6

   Next, grab another bowl and whisk together flour, espresso powder, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until everything is well blended.

7. Step 7

   This dry mixture is essential for the perfect cake texture, so set it aside too.

8. Step 8

   In a large mixing bowl, cream together the cubed butter and dark brown sugar using an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy—this is where the magic begins! Add the eggs one at a time, making sure to mix well after each addition.

   Then, fold in the pumpkin puree and a splash of vanilla extract for that warm, inviting flavor.

    Now, it’s time to bring it all together.

11. Step 11

    Gradually stir in one-third of your dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.

12. Step 12

    Next, add half of the cooled coffee and half of the heavy cream, stirring gently until just combined.

13. Step 13

    Keep alternating between the dry ingredients and the coffee and cream, starting and ending with the dry mix, until everything is beautifully blended.

14. Step 14

    Pour half of the luscious cake batter into your prepared pan, spreading it into an even layer.

15. Step 15

    Sprinkle 1 cup of that delightful streusel mixture evenly over the batter, creating a sweet surprise in the middle.

16. Step 16

    Carefully pour the remaining batter over the streusel layer, gently spreading it to cover completely.

17. Step 17

    Finally, sprinkle the rest of the streusel on top, because who doesn’t love a little extra crunch? Now, pop your creation into the preheated oven and let it bake for 55 to 60 minutes.

18. Step 18

    You’ll know it’s ready when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs—just the way we like it! Once baked, allow the cake to cool completely before serving.
