Preparation
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar. Mix until smooth and set aside.
- Preheat your oven to 350?F (175?C). Spray a 9? round springform pan with nonstick baking spray. Place the pan on a cookie sheet to catch any potential leaks.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar using an electric mixer on high speed for 3 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs, pumpkin puree, milk, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, and mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just incorporated.
- In another bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon, brown sugar, and chopped pecans. Add the room temperature butter and use a fork to mix until crumbly.
- Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared springform pan. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly on top.
- Sprinkle half of the streusel topping over the cream cheese layer.
- Pour the remaining cake batter over the streusel, then sprinkle the rest of the streusel topping on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 55-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan.
- While the cake is cooling, mix together the powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Once the cake has cooled, drizzle the glaze on top.
- Carefully remove the cake from the springform pan, slice, and enjoy!
