For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the pumpkin batter. If you don't have pecans, walnuts or almonds also work well in the crunch topping. To prevent the top from browning too quickly, tent the baking dish with foil during the last 10-15 minutes of baking. This coffee cake is delicious served warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and lightly flour a 9x13-inch baking dish. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a medium bowl, combine brown sugar, chopped pecans, melted butter, all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and ground nutmeg. Mix well until a coarse, crumbly mixture forms. This is your pecan crunch topping. (10 minutes)
03
StepIn a large bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, pumpkin puree, eggs, and water. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth and well combined. (5 minutes)
04
StepPour half of the pumpkin cake batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading evenly. Sprinkle the entire pecan crunch mixture over the batter. Gently pour the remaining pumpkin batter over the pecan crunch layer, trying to cover it as evenly as possible. (5 minutes)
05
StepBake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean with just a few moist crumbs. (35 minutes)
06
StepWhile the cake is baking, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together confectioners' sugar and milk, adding more milk as needed, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach a smooth, pourable consistency. (5 minutes)
07
StepOnce the cake is out of the oven and slightly cooled, drizzle the glaze evenly over the top. Let the glaze set for a few minutes before slicing and serving. (5 minutes)
