Directions

  1. Combine first 4 ingredients in a small bowl; stir in 1/4 cup melted butter. Use fingers to pinch streusel into big clumps. Set aside.

  3. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating just until yellow disappears.
  4. Stir together pumpkin and 1/4 cup rum in a bowl.
  5. Combine flour and next 7 ingredients in a medium bowl.
  6. Add flour mixture to butter mixture alternately with pumpkin, beginning and ending with flour.

  8. Sprinkle batter with streusel; top with remaining batter.
