How To Make walnut spiced coffee cake

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350'

Step 2

Coat an 8 inch cake pan with cooking spay and line with parchment.
Step 3

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice and salt. Set aside.
Step 4

In another large bowl, beat butter and sugars on medium speed until creamy and blended, about 3 minutes. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Add vanilla and beat until smooth.
Step 5

On low speed, beat in the flour mixture in three additions, alternating with buttermilk. Beat for 2 minutes.
Step 6

Spoon half of the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle half of the topping over the batter. Spoon remaining batter over topping. Sprinkle remaining topping over top of cake.
Step 7

Bake at 350 degrees F for 50 to 60 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean. Cool completely on wire rack. Loosen edges with a knife or small spatula. Cut into 12 equal pieces.
Step 8

Topping: In a medium bowl stir together flour, sugars, pumpkin pie spice and salt. With a pastry cutter,cut butter into the mixture. Stir in walnuts. Refrigerate.
Step 9

In a small bowl, mix together confectioners' sugar and just enough milk to get a good drizzling consistency. Drizzle over cake squares and allow to set before serving.
