Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
- For the cream cheese filling, beat softened cream cheese with sugar until fluffy. Add egg and vanilla; mix smooth.
- To make the crumb topping, combine brown sugar, granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl. Stir in melted butter until crumbly.
- For the pumpkin cake batter, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices in one bowl. In another bowl, mix pumpkin puree, sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla until well combined. Blend wet and dry ingredients gently.
- Layer half the batter in the pan, spread the cream cheese filling on top, dollop remaining batter over it, and swirl gently. Sprinkle crumb topping evenly.
