Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350?F (177?C). Grease a 9-inch square or springform baking pan with nonstick spray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the crumb topping ingredients: flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in the cold butter until you get clumps and crumbs. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients for the cake: flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: pumpkin, brown sugar, oil, maple syrup, and milk. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. The batter will be very thick.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Pour the crumb topping over the batter and gently press it down.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes. Check for doneness at the 30-minute mark by inserting a toothpick in the center. If it comes out with wet batter, bake for another 5 minutes.
- For the icing, whisk together the icing ingredients, adding extra creamer or milk if necessary to achieve desired consistency. Drizzle over the cake once it's warm or cooled.
- Cover any leftover cake tightly and store at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Notes
Consider adding walnuts or pecans to the crumb topping for extra crunch. You can also substitute half the pumpkin puree with applesauce for a twist on flavor.
