In 2 quart microwave-safe bowl melt 1/3 cup butter on High for 30-45 seconds or until melted; stir in brown sugar and sugar. Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup; level off. Mix in flour, pumpkin pie spice and salt until crumbly. Remove 1/2 cup of mixture to small bowl; add nuts and cinnamon. Mix well; set aside.

To remaining mixture add baking powder, baking soda, sour cream, pumpkin and egg. Beat until smooth. Pour batter into ungreased 8 or 9 inch round microwave-safe dish. Sprinkle with reserved mixture.

Microwave on Medium for 8 minutes, rotating dish 1/4 turn halfway through baking. Microwave on High for 3 1/2-5 1/2 minutes or until cake pulls away from side of dish, rotating dish once halfway through baking. Let stand 5 minutes on flat surface.

In small bowl, combine powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon butter and enough milk for desired drizzling consistency. Drizzle glaze over coffeecake. Serve warm or cold. Makes 8-10 servings.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
