    1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and prepare your pan with parchment paper or baking spray.

    2. In a large bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.

    3. In a separate bowl beat together the pumpkin puree, milk, egg, and vanilla.

    4. Pour the wet ingredients over the flour mixture and stir until combined.

    5. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan.

    6. Combine the cream cheese, vanilla and sugar using a hand mixer. Dollop the cream cheese on top of the pumpkin cake. Use a spoon or a silicone spatula to pat it and gently spread it into the cake.

    7. Combine the streusel ingredients using a fork or pastry cutter. Sprinkle on top of the cream cheese layer. Lightly press the streusel to make sure it sticks to the top of the cake.

    8. Bake for 35 minutes.

    9. Let it cool and serve. Keep leftovers in the fridge for up to 1 week.
