Sour Cream Pumpkin Coffee Cake


I certainly have been into the pumpkins this season and next on my list was this recipe for a sour cream pumpkin coffeecake that I recently saw on Megan's Cookin. You just can't go wrong with coffeecakes and with the layer of pumpkin and a streusel topping I immediatly knew that I would have to make this one. I used the recipe pretty much as it was, though I replaced some of the flour with whole wheat flour and of course I used my own home made pumpkin puree. The ingredient list may be a little long but this coffeecake is pretty easy to make with the hardest part being waiting for it to cool down enough to get into it. The coffeecake was nice and light and the layer of pumpkin kept it nice and moist. I really enjoyed the layer of pumpkin pie filling and using part of the streusel topping with the pumpkin layer was a nice touch. I am looking forward to breakfasts this week!
