Preparation
Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease a 9-inch square or springform baking pan with nonstick spray. Set aside.
Make the crumb topping first: In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon together. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or a fork. Mix to create clumps and crumbs. Set aside.
Make the cake: Whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger together in a large bowl until combined. In a medium bowl, whisk the pumpkin, brown sugar, oil, maple syrup, and milk together until combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Spoon/pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread to make an even surface. Pour the crumb topping evenly on top and gently press them down into the batter.
Bake the cake for 30-35 minutes. Check the cake’s doneness at the 30 minute mark by inserting a toothpick into the center. If the toothpick comes out clean or with a couple moist crumbs, the cake is done. If the toothpick has wet batter on it, bake for 5 more minutes or until the toothpick comes out clean.
Make the icing: Whisk the icing ingredients together. Add an extra splash of creamer/milk to thin out if desired. Drizzle over warm or cooled cake.
Cover leftover cake tightly and store at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
