Ingredients
- TOPPING
- ½ cup dark brown sugar
- 1/3 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup gluten-free oats, optional
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

- CAKE
- 2½ cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1¼ cups dark brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 4 large eggs
- ¾ cup vegetable oil

Directions
Preheat oven to 350° F. Spray a 9×13-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
For the topping, mix the brown sugar, flour, oats and cinnamon. Cut in cold butter until no large pieces remain. Mixture should look crumbly and hold together when squeezed.
To prepare the cake, whisk together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add eggs, oil and pumpkin puree. Whisk until smooth.
Spread batter evenly into pan. Sprinkle topping over batter.
Bake until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes.
Cool cake in pan. Cut into squares and serve. Store cake, wrapped, on the counter for up to 4 days.
