Pumpkin Raisin Apple Cake with Cinnamon Streusel

Use this streusel on top of muffins or cakes to give a burst of cinnamon flavor and crunch. Chilling the streusel while you mix the cake batter makes the streusel easier to crumble before using. 1. To make the Streusel: Beat the butter and sugar in the bowl of a mixer fitted with a paddle until smooth and creamy. Scrape the bowl and add the flour and salt. Mix only until the mixture just starts to come together, approximately 1 minute. Scrape the bowl then add in the Love'n Bake Cinnamon "Schmear". Blend on low speed only until the Schmear starts to blend into the butter and flour mixture. Set aside. 2. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease an Emile Henry loaf pan. 3. Sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, ginger, nutmeg and cardamom. Set aside. 4. Beat the softened butter, brown and granulated sugars in the bowl of a mixer fitted with the paddle until light and creamy, approximately 3 minutes. Scrape the bowl then beat in the eggs one at a time. Scrape the bowl. Stir in the sour cream or milk and pumpkin puree.
