Ever since I made these pumpkin cupcakes with cream cheese frosting<\/a>, I’ve been thinking of new ways to combine pumpkin and cream cheese again.  This past weekend, I had plans to make a pumpkin crumb cake, but I felt like it needed something else.  I remembered a few readers mentioning how much they loved the cream cheese filling in these zucchini muffins<\/a> and then it struck me.<\/p>\n

Add a cream cheese filling to the crumb cake.<\/p>\n

Done!<\/p>\n

The ingredient list may seem long, but some of the ingredients repeat themselves so don’t be alarmed.  I start by making the crumb topping and then refrigerating it until I’m ready to top the cake.  Then comes the filling, a simple mixture of cream cheese, sugar, one egg, and a bit of vanilla.  Lastly, you’ll mix up the cake batter which comes together pretty quickly.<\/p>\n

Then comes the layering, you’ll start with half of the pumpkin cake batter, then the cream cheese filling, the rest of the pumpkin cake batter, then the crumb topping.  Phew.  Sounds like a lot, right?  I promise it’s not.<\/p>\n

Once it’s done baking I let it cool for about 15-20 minutes before removing it from the pan.  I suggest using a springform pan for this recipe as well, since it makes it much easier to remove it without a huge mess.<\/p>\n

The best part about this crumb cake?  It’s totally acceptable for breakfast.  Pumpkin crumb cake with a cream cheese filling for breakfast?  Oh yes.<\/p>\n
