Method
 

Cake Preparation
  1. Prepare the Crumble: In a mixing bowl, combine your crumble ingredients, ensuring the butter is cut in until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Cover it and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Make Dry Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, and pumpkin spice until evenly combined.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until fluffy. Gradually add in the sugar, butter, sour cream, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Mix Ingredients: Gently fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  5. Prepare Cream Cheese Filling: In another bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually mix in the powdered sugar and an egg until well blended.
  6. Layer Cake in Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a springform pan. Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan, dollop the cream cheese filling over, top with remaining batter, and sprinkle the chilled crumble over everything.
  7. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Cool and Serve: Once baked, allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes
