Pro Tips for Success

• Measure flour correctly for a light texture; too much will weigh down your cake.
• Let baked goods cool before glazing to prevent sogginess.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container to keep them fresh and moist.
• If you prefer, line your baking pan with parchment paper for easier removal.

Variations and Creative Twists

• Add in chocolate chips for a decadent twist.
• Try a cinnamon swirl by adding a layer of cinnamon-sugar between the batter.
• Drizzle with a light cream cheese glaze for an extra indulgent finish.

How to Store or Freeze

To keep your Amish Pumpkin Streusel Coffee Cake fresh, store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you want to make it ahead, you can also freeze individual slices. Wrap each slice in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer bag. To enjoy, simply thaw at room temperature or gently warm in the microwave.

Serving Ideas

This coffee cake is best enjoyed warm, ideally with a steaming cup of your favorite coffee or tea. It’s also perfect for brunch gatherings, so consider serving it alongside a fruit platter or as part of a cozy breakfast spread.
