  6. Head back to the standing mixer and add ¾ cup of milk, ¾ cup of pumpkin puree, 1 egg, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1 teaspoon of baking powder. Mix at a SLOW speed until there are no more lumps (make sure you scrape the bottom of the bowl and then mix again! I had an issue of some of the batter getting stuck and having to re-mix it.)
  7. Grease and flour a 13×9 inch glass pan and add cake batter to it
  8. Next, evenly spread pecan topping over the batter
  9. Place in the oven and cook for 35-40 minutes (or until a toothpick comes out clean)
  10. Once it’s done, cut it into squares and serve it with a warm cup of your favorite coffee 🙂

Making this Pumpkin Spice Coffee Cake was really fun, especially since I had my blogger gal pal, Rachel, with me! She cooked up a delicious Corn Chowder Recipe for her blog One Pot Slop, and holy mother of yumminess was it good! I came home on Sunday night from the Portland Fashion and Style Awards (see my previous post here) and scarfed that shit down!
