This easy pumpkin coffee cake will start off any morning perfectly. Don't forget your added cup of coffee to go along with it (try a pumpkin spice coffee with your cake)!
I love to just sit around and talk with people, surrounded by good food and coffee. There's just something delicious about the way that this pumpkin coffee cake tastes.
Growing up, I remember going to coffee houses and trying out their variety of coffee cakes. They were good but not as good as this. Is anything ever really as good as homemade?
The flavor is amazing, and it's so comforting to know every ingredient that is actually being put into it.
Taking one bite seems to make the world slow down a bit. Chewing allows a bit of peace and quiet and once that bite is through, your taste buds are literally craving another.
After taste testing my way through many coffee shops, I can assure you that this pumpkin coffee cake has an amazing and unique flavor. You won't find many coffee cake options out there that cook with pumpkin which is what makes this recipe so amazing and great.
If you like coffee and desserts you ought to try my pumpkin mocha cupcakes with a hint of espresso!

Here are a few different cake pans you might use. I like the Bundt pan: makes for a nice presentation of the cake.

Also, you might want to stock up on pumpkin spiced coffee. It's not always available, and you should get enough to last you until next fall 😉

This pumpkin coffee cake will start off any morning perfectly. Don't forget your added cup of coffee to go along with it!
Ingredients
- 10½ oz self-raising flour
- 10½ oz light muscovado sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 3 eggs, lightly beaten
- 3 fl. oz espresso coffee (if you haven't got a machine, use strong instant dissolved in with hot water)
- 7 oz melted butter
- 1lb 2oz pumpkin, grated
- For the Coffee Buttercream
- 3½ oz unsalted butter
- 7 oz sifted icing sugar
- 1 tablespoon coffee granules
- 1 tablespoon hot water
- Decoration
- Chocolate curls, walnuts, pecans – whatever you want.
Instructions
Heat the oven to 375ºF/Gas Mark 5. Lightly grease 2 x 9 inchround cake tins and line with baking parchment.
In a large bowl combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt.
Beat the eggs with the melted butter and stir in the espresso.
Combine the egg mixture with the dry ingredients. Stir the pumpkin in and mix well.
Pour into the prepared tins and bake in the preheated oven for approximately 30 minutes or until springy to the touch, or a skewer inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 3 or 4 minutes then turn out onto a cooling rack.
Take the coffee buttercream ingredients and whisk together using an electric hand whisk.
Spread or pipe buttercream on to one of the cakes. Place the other on top, and decorate with more buttercream and with the chocolate curls, walnuts, pecans etc whichever you decide!
