<\/p>\n
I’m back making snack cakes again. Someone stop me – they’re so addicting! This one might be my favorite so far (I don’t know, applesauce<\/a> is pretty darn amazing…)<\/p>\n The thing that sets this one apart is not the lovely and moist pumpkin base, but that gorgeous buttery streusel on top. I’ve been on a streusel kick lately, so don’t be surprised if I just streusel all the things for the next little bit. You’re welcome. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n And this streusel is the best. The secret is to melt the butter before mixing it in. Most recipes I see have you cut in cold butter, but if you use melted butter, the streusel makes those glorious crumbs. And that is most definitely what we want to see!<\/p>\n I did top this with some vanilla glaze for the pictures, but in real life, I probably would leave it off. The cake and topping are sweet enough, the glaze felt a little like overkill – although if you’ve got a crazy sweet tooth, go for it! It’s a standard vanilla glaze – 1 cup powdered sugar and 1 Tbsp water or milk. <\/p>\n Oh, the other thing is that this cake is made from my snack cake mix. I LOVE this stuff. One recipe of the mix makes 6 mixes, which is oh-so-dangerous! With the addition of a few pantry essentials, you can make a bunch of different flavored cakes in literally minutes. So far, I’ve made double chocolate<\/a>, lemon<\/a>, applesauce<\/a>, and now this pumpkin. Is there a flavor you’d like to see? Leave a comment below and let me know!<\/p>\n
