Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F.
First, make your oat streusel topping.
Add your butter, flour, oats, brown sugar, and cinnamon to a medium mixing bowl. Mix with a pastry cutter or until the mixture clumps together, like wet sand. You may have to work it in with your hands for a moment or two to get the right texture. Set aside.
Grease a 9-inch by 9-inch baking dish and set it aside.
In a large mixing bowl, add your flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices. Whisk together and set aside.
In another medium mixing bowl, add your pumpkin puree, oil, brown sugar, and milk. Mix until combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix until just combined. The batter will be thicker than typical cake batter, so be careful not to overwork it.
Pour the batter into your prepared pan.
Sprinkle your oat streusel on top of the batter. Try to spread it evenly, even out to the edges.
Bake for 35 minutes, or until a fork inserted in the center comes out clean.
While the cake is baking, you can make the icing.
Add your powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to a small bowl.
Whisk until combined and set aside.
Once your cake has come out of the oven, let it cool for 5 to 10 minutes before drizzling the icing on top.
Cut the slices to your desired size and enjoy.
