I made this tonight and it is excellent. It’s super moist and the streusel topping is very crunchy and plentiful! I usually double the amount of streusel topping to a cake because I love it so much, but I didn’t have to with this recipe.
I had 1.5 C of pumpkin to use up so i put it all in there, and I didn’t have any heavy cream so I omitted. I tripled the amount of pumpkin pie spice because i like a spicy cake. Excellent recipe!
