How To Make pumpkin swirl pecan crumb cake

  • 1
    For the pumpkin swirl: Combine the ingredients in a bowl and whisk until smooth. Set aside.
  • 2
    For the crumb cake: Grease an 8"x8" baking pan or line with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 325°F. In the bowl of a food processor, pulse together the almond flour, oat flour, coconut flour, salt, 1 t pumpkin pie spice, and brown sugar until combined. Add the oil and Greek yogurt, and pulse until well combined. Transfer this mixture to a large bowl and set aside. For the topping, return ½ c of the flour mixture to the food processor. Add the pecans and additional 1 t pumpkin pie spice, and pulse a couple of times to combine and form loose crumbs. To the reserved dry mixture, stir in the baking soda and baking powder. Add the eggs, vanilla and milk and stir until smooth.

    Pour batter into the prepared pan. Drop and drizzle small spoonfuls of the reserved pumpkin mixture across the top of the batter. Sprinkle the pecan crumb mixture evenly over the top of the batter. Bake for 40-45 minutes. A toothpick inserted in the middle should come out clean (perhaps only a little of the pumpkin mixture on it, but not cake batter) and it will not jiggle in the middle. Cool the cake completely, and drizzle with the maple cream cheese drizzle, if desired, or another glaze, or just sprinkle with powdered sugar. Store the cake, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

    For the maple cream cheese drizzle: Blend together the maple syrup and cream cheese. I like to throw it in the fridge to thicken up a bit before using. Also, if your cream cheese gives you a hard time and won't make a smooth glaze, you can press the mixture through a fine mesh sieve several times.
