Taste of Our Home Tuesday: Pumpkin Crumb Cake

Around Thanksgiving I had found this recipe on Pinterest and pinned it.  I love anything pumpkin.  I didn't have time to try it until Sunday.  It is super moist and delicious!  The topping is a little crunchy and hard to cut through without smashing the cake underneath.  I really like that it's made in a loaf size pan instead of a large cake pan, it's easier for us to get it eaten before it's not good anymore.  Here is the original site where the cake was pinned from.  Enjoy!
