- 1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, baking soda, and salt, whisk together. Set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream butter and sugars until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla and mix well. Add the pumpkin puree and continue mixing until blended in. Reduce speed to low, and add the flour mixture, mixing until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips. Spread batter evenly into the prepared pan.
- To make the streusel, in a medium bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Add in the butter, and mix using 2 table knives, a pastry blender or your hands. Continue mixing until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs. (You can also do this in a food processors. Just give it a few pulses.) Sprinkle streusel evenly over the top of the cake. Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the cake.
- Bake for about 35-40 minutes. DO NOT OVERBAKE! (You want a few moist crumbs on the toothpick you insert.) Place cake on a wire rack and cool completely.
