Cinnamon Swirled Pumpkin Coffee Cake

Yum

September 14, 2016 by Jodi + 13 Comments

This Cinnamon Swirled Pumpkin Coffee Cake is dense, not too sweet and has swirls of buttery cinnamon-sugar yumminess throughout. It’s delicious. 

I think I died and went to pumpkin heaven when I took the first bite of this cake. Now while chocolate will always be my first true love, anything pumpkin is a close second.

This is coffee cake meets pumpkin pie and it is definitely a winning combination. It’s phenomenal, actually. Dense, not too sweet, super moist and the buttery cinnamon & sugar swirls are ah-mazing!

I knew I couldn’t leave this cake sitting around my house so some lucky friends got some. If you don’t believe me when I tell you how good this is, I’m highly confident they would back me up. My friend Heather sent me a text that said: “So, I’m gonna need to make that cake tomorrow. . . and probably every day after that.”

Yeah, this cake is a winner! I look at it this way, it’s loaded with pumpkin so by consuming mass portions of this cake like I did, I easily got my fruit intake for the week, right?

I think I waited a wee bit too long before I poured the glaze over it. If the cake had been just slightly warmer, the glaze would have seeped down into the cake a little more, which could only make this cake even more spectacular.

It’s a keeper!

      Mel, you HAVE to make this! It is amazing. I honestly had to give half of it away or I would have eaten the entire pan (I’m not even joking!). Hope you guys are doing well!

      Oh I knew you’d love it Christine. Did you use a 9×9 pan or an 8×8?

    I made half this recipe and baked it in a 9X9 pan for only about 5 minutes. It was so very good. I love so many of your recipes.

    Definitely a 5 star recipe that we will make over and over. I recommend this for anyone looking for a “REAL” pumpkin cake recipe that utilizes pumpkin in a robust way – a whopping 4 cups of pumpkin goes into this cake. (This is in contrast to the many pumpkin cake recipes out there that barely use any pumpkin… what’s the point?! jk…)

    This is actually bordering on healthy if you substitute 1 cup sour cream for the 1 cup of butter in the cake. But absolutely MUST keep the butter in for the filling and topping. With this sour cream update, you end up with a cake that has 4 cups of pumpkin puree that consist of a total of 1 stick of butter when all is said and done. Can’t wait to make this recipe again.

      Thank you Emily for the sweet comment and the “healthy-ish” options. I’m so happy you loved this and I too love how much pumpkin there is in this cake.
