Tips for a Perfect Pumpkin Sour Cream Coffee Cake
If you want to achieve the ultimate moistness in your cake, consider using butter or vegetable oil combined with pumpkin. However, be cautious not to overbake it. Keep a close eye on your cake to ensure it stays perfectly moist. If the crumb topping starts to brown too quickly, cover it lightly with tinted foil to prevent over-baking.
When it comes to flavor, pumpkin pie spice is the ideal choice, as it combines cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and allspice. If you don’t have pumpkin pie spice on hand, you can make it yourself using simple ingredients found in your pantry.
Pumpkin Pie Spice vs. Cinnamon?
You might be wondering if you can use just cinnamon instead of pumpkin pie spice. The answer is yes! Both options will yield a delicious cake. However, if you’re missing pumpkin spice, here’s a simple recipe to make your own:
DIY Pumpkin Pie Spice
- 4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
Mix all the ingredients together, and you’ll have your own homemade pumpkin pie spice. You can even sprinkle it over your morning coffee for an extra cozy touch.
