Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9×13 inch cake pan with nonstick spray or butter.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 3 cups flour, 1 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1 tablespoon cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice.
  3. Melt 1 cup butter in a medium bowl and pour into the larger bowl, stirring until combined. Set aside or refrigerate.
  4. In a large bowl or stand mixer, whisk together 2 and 1/4 cups flour, 1 and 1/2 cups sugar, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 3/4 teaspoon baking soda, 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon.
  5. Chop 1/2 cup softened butter and add it to the flour mixture.
  6. Add about half of the pumpkin puree (from the can) to the bowl with the flour and butter.
  7. Using a paddle attachment or electric beaters, blend the mixture until it forms a ball. Add more pumpkin puree if needed.
  8. In the same bowl used for melting butter, whisk together the remaining pumpkin, 4 eggs, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, and 1 tablespoon vanilla until combined.
  9. Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture in 3 additions, mixing well after each addition until the batter is light and fluffy.
  10. Spread 2 cups of batter into the prepared cake pan.
  11. Sprinkle 1 cup of streusel evenly over the top, then spread another 2 cups of batter on top.
  12. Add another 1 cup of streusel on top and finish with the remaining batter.
  13. Spread another 2 cups of streusel over the top of the cake.
  14. Bake at 350 degrees F for 35 minutes.
  15. Quickly sprinkle the remaining streusel on top of the cake and return it to the oven.
  16. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
  17. Let the cake cool on a wire rack for at least 15-20 minutes before cutting.
  18. To make the icing, beat 1/4 cup butter until smooth, then add 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, 3 tablespoons milk, and 2 cups powdered sugar. Mix until smooth.
  19. Drizzle over the cooled cake or individual slices.
