Tell me all the things you enjoy about Autumn. And don't worry, its okay if Autumn isn't your season. No judgement here. But maybe there's a characteristic about it that you appreciate. The golden evening light, the leaves changing colours, cooler weather, or maybe your a pluviophile like myself and love the rainy days. Either way you feel about it, it is indeed the season I prefer over the other three.I feel rejuvenated in Autumn. Theres a feeling of newness in the air and I breathe it in deeply. Its so much more than changing of the harvest and what makes it to your dinner table. Its a season that exudes the joy of gathering together. Gathering together around fire pits, along porch verandas and the holding of hands down neighborhood streets. Its mornings met with slow sunrises that you'll actually get to catch if you're a late riser.It doesn't have to be Autumn for me to be in the baking mood. I know some refuse to turn on their ovens during the warmer months, but I've never been one to say no to my cravings. Especially when that craving is for cake. A baked good who's presence I enjoy at breakfast, lunch and dinner. Which makes this Morning Pumpkin Cake with Pistachio Streusel the perfect cake to get your Autumn baking off to a good start. And I have every intention of trying this with butternut squash, and sweet potato puree. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.Morning Cake with Pumpkin, & Pistachio Streusel (Egg-Less)Prep: 10 minutesBaking Time: 40-50 minutes3-½ cups White Lily AP Flour2-¼ cups White Granulated Sugar2 teaspoons Baking Soda3/4 teaspoon Baking Powder1 teaspoon Kosher Salt2 tablespoons Pumpkin Spice1 teaspoon Vietnamese or Saigon Cinnamon2-¼ cups Canned Pumpkin1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract1/2 teaspoon Almond Extract1 cup Coconut Oil⅔ cups Lactaid Milk1 teaspoon Rice Wine VinegarPistachio Streusel6 tablespoons chilled unsalted butter, chunked1 1/2 cups White Lily AP Flour1/2 cup dark brown sugarHeavy smidge kosher salt1/4 cup chopped pistachiosMETHOD:1.
