Pumpkin Coffee Cake

Pinterest is at it again, this recipe received a lot of "pins" on pinterest so when it was requested for Thanksgiving weekend I thought I better try it out ahead of time.  It is going to make it to the Thanksgiving weekend menu list--- so good.  I found it blogged here:
http://notsohumblepie.blogspot.com/2010/02/pumpkin-coffee-cake-giveaway.html and was credited to the cookbook "Make Ahead Meals for Busy Moms" by Jane Dorian.  I have to say the browned butter added great flavor to the cake.  Love this old tube pan that belonged to my husbands grandmother, I have round also but the square shape is more unique.
