makes 3 {3 x 5-inch} cakes
Pumpkin Spice Streusel
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup dark brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp table salt
1 cup pumpkin puree
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prepare the Pumpkin Spice Streusel as directed. Set aside. Lightly grease 3 {3 x 5-inch} loaf pans. Cream the butter & the sugar with a stand mixer. Stop the mixer occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the eggs & the vanilla blending just until the yolk disappears. Whisk together the flour, the pumpkin pie spice, the baking powder, the soda & the salt in a bowl. Add to the butter mixture alternately with the pumpkin puree, beginning & ending with the flour mixture. Spoon the batter evenly into the pans spreading to the edges & place on a quarter sheet pan. Drop the pan on the counter top about an inch from the surface 2 to 3 times to settle the air bubbles for even baking. Sprinkle the streusel over the batter & gently press into the surface. Bake 55 minutes or until a wooden pick tests clean. Let stand 10 minutes. Remove the cakes from the pans. Cool completely on a wire rack.

How To Properly Measure Flour
The lightest texture of baked goods & the right consistency of recipe components depends so much on how the flour is measured, therefore technique is everything. Follow these pointers for success in your own kitchen.
The Technique
Use a spoon to lift & release the flour a few times from the container it is being stored in. Next, spoon the flour into the measuring cup being certain to use one specifically designed for dry ingredients. Swipe a level, flat dinner knife or small offset spatula over the cup to remove the excess. Use as directed in specific recipe applications.
