Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla extract.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and spices.
  • Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the oats, chopped nuts, brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon for the crumble topping.
  • Stir in the melted butter until all ingredients are well combined and crumbly.
  • Sprinkle the crumble mixture evenly over the batter in the pan.
  • Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the cake to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
