  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 2 large eggs

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x13-inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
  3. In another bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time to the butter and sugar mixture, mixing well after each addition. Then add the vanilla extract.
  5. Mix the pumpkin puree with the milk and then add this mixture to the butter mixture, blending until combined.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
  7. Prepare the crumble topping by combining oats, flour, brown sugar, and chopped nuts in a bowl. Add melted butter and mix until crumbly.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and sprinkle the crumble evenly over the top.
  9. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center.
  10. Let the cake cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
