Pumpkin Streusel Loaf Cake is everything you love about pumpkin pie in a lightly sweet loaf cake beneath a pumpkin spice streusel. Perfect for Thanksgiving.
Cream together the butter, molasses, and sugar until fluffy.
Add in egg whites until fully incorporated. Then mix in the vanilla, milk, and pumpkin puree.
In a small bowl mix together 1¾ cup flour, ½ tsp baking soda, ½ tsp salt, and 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice. Fold gently into wet ingredients until just incorporated. Do not over mix.
For streusel topping, mix together ¼ cup each flour, sugar, and oats with ¼ tsp pumpkin pie spice. Cut in 3 Tbsp pumpkin purée. Using your hand, work together until most of the mixture comes together. It's okay to have about a tablespoon of dry mix left. Just don't over work it or it turns out hard instead of just crunchy.
Pour the cake batter into a greased and floured loaf pan. Crumble streusel topping over the top and pour any remaining dry mix over that.
Bake for 60-65 minutes at 350°F, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow to cool for 10 minutes in the pan. Then turn out and finish cooling completely on a rack.
