Ingredients

2/3 cup packed brown sugar
1-1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
2-1/2 teaspoons cold butter
BATTER:
1 cup butter, softened
2 cups sugar

Directions

In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon and allspice. Cut in butter until crumbly; set aside.
In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the sour cream, pumpkin and vanilla. Combine the flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture.
Pour half of the batter into a greased 10-in. fluted tube pan. Sprinkle with reserved crumb mixture; top with remaining batter. Bake at 350° for 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely. Combine glaze ingredients; drizzle over cooled cake.

This cake may be my new favorite. It's so favorful, moist , and the streusel is a nice surprise. I wondered how the orange glaze would go with pumpkin, and it was just right. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed.

Awesome cake - very moist and delicious! I didn't make the glaze but plan to serve it with a caramel sauce instead.
