Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a greased 9×13 inch baking pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine vegetable oil and sugar until well mixed. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in pumpkin puree and vanilla extract.

- In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese with sugar and vanilla until smooth.
- For the streusel topping, mix together light brown sugar, white sugar, softened butter, flour, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, and baking powder until crumbly.
- To assemble: pour half of the pumpkin batter into the prepared pan. Spread the cream cheese layer evenly over it. Pour the remaining pumpkin batter on top and sprinkle with streusel.
