Ingredients

Scale

For the Pumpkin Coffee Cake

  • 1 cup pumpkin purée
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup natural brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup plant-based milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

For the Maple Glaze

  • 1/3 cup maple syrup (natural)
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons plant-based milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all ingredients, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C), and grease and flour a baking pan to ensure the cake releases easily after baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and salt to evenly distribute spices and leavening agents.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk pumpkin purée, natural brown sugar, vegetable oil, plant-based milk, natural vanilla extract, and apple cider vinegar until smooth, providing moisture and sweetness.
  4. Fold and Combine: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently to prevent overmixing and ensuring the batter is thick but smooth.
  5. Bake: Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The aroma of pumpkin and spices indicates the cake is ready.
  6. Prepare the Maple Glaze: While the cake cools, whisk maple syrup (natural), a splash of plant-based milk, and the natural gelling agent together until the glaze is smooth and luscious.
  7. Glaze and Serve: Drizzle the warm glaze evenly over the slightly warm cake, allowing it to cascade and settle, adding moisture and a glossy finish.

Notes

  • Use fresh pumpkin purée for the best flavor and texture.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the cake tender and light.
  • An oven thermometer helps ensure even baking without drying out the cake.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before applying the glaze to prevent it from melting off.
  • Adjust the spice levels to your preference for warmth or intensity.
