Add remaining milk mixture in two stages; beat on medium speed until batter is just smooth. Add the sugar; beat until just incorporated, about 30 seconds. Pour batter into cake pan.

• 2. To make the cake sift together the flour, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, baking powder, baking soda and salt onto a sheet of waxed paper; set aside.
• 3. In a large bowl, beat the butter with an electric mixer on high speed until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in the sugars, beating until very light. Change the mixer speed to medium and beat in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
• 4. Change the mixer speed to low and alternately beat in the flour mixture and buttermilk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture and beating just until blended. Spread the batter in the prepared pan. Scatter the crumbs over the top, pressing them lightly into the batter.

PUMPKIN SPICE CRUMB CAKE

Steps:

• I use my KitchenAid stand mixer with the wire whip beater to mix this cake. For sifting you can use the Sifter+Scale attachment, a hand sifter or sift by tapping through a mesh strainer.

• Sift* cake mix and measure out 2/3 cup.
• In mixer bowl, combine 2/3 cup cake mix and brown sugar.
• Stir until the cake mix and brown sugar are well combined.
• Drizzle in the melted butter and mix until a crumb texture forms. Remove crumb mixture to a separate bowl.
• Add eggs to mixing bowl (no need to wash) and use wire whip (whisk) to whip eggs for 2 mintues or until lighter in color, slightly thickened and foamy.
• Add vanilla and pumpkin to whipped eggs. Stir gently to combine, stopping to scrape the bowl part-way.
• Stir pumpkin pie spice into the remaining cake mix.
• Gradually add cake mix to egg mixture and gently mix until just combined, stopping to scrape the bowl part-way.
• Pour cake batter into prepared baking pan, spread evenly in pan. Top with crumb mixture. (Sometimes I'll squeeze the crumb mixture in my hands to make some larger crumbs.)
• Bake for 20-25 minutes (depending upon oven and baking pan) or until the center is set. You can check with a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake, it should come out clean.
