On rainy, cold days there is nothing more comforting than a steaming cup of coffee and I often find myself wandering over to the neighboring cafe for a nice strong cappuccino. Interior design takes a lot of mental, physical and creative energy so caffeine and I are old friends. What makes coffee even better, is a side of something sweet to go with it, right? So, I thought I would share my Pumpkin Streusel Coffee Cake recipe with you. It’s perfect for the holidays or anytime!

 Pumpkin Streusel Coffee Cake

1cup margarine

2cups sugar

4 eggs

1cup sour cream

1cup pumpkin

2tsp. vanilla

* Add :

3 cups flour

2 tsp. soda

¼ tsp. salt

½ tsp. cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice

Topping: (I usually double this recipe for streusel toppping)

1 cup brown sugar

2 tsp. cinnamon

3 Tbls. margarine or butter

1 cup chopped pecans

*****

Spread cake mixture in greased pan and then layer on topping.

Bake at 350 degrees until done in middle (toothpick comes out

clean). For extra flavor and moistness, after cooling, glaze with

powdered sugar, almond or vanilla flavor and a little water.

*For bundt cake, alternate topping and cake mix then glaze

 Enjoy!
