Apple Coffee Cake Recipe
Description
This Apple Coffee Cake is prepared by whisking together dry ingredients—flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg—and then mixing in wet ingredients including eggs, canola oil, buttermilk, sour cream, and vanilla extract. Chopped peeled apples are folded into the batter, giving bursts of fresh apple flavor and moisture.
A streusel made from oats, flour, sugar, cinnamon, chopped walnuts, and butter is crumbled over the cake batter before baking. The cake is baked in a 9-inch springform pan at 325°F for 45 to 55 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. After cooling, it is topped with a glaze made from softened cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk that is whisked to a smooth and pourable consistency.
The result is a moist and tender cake with a subtle crumb topping and a creamy, sweet glaze balancing the warm spices and apple. This cake works well for breakfast, brunch, or as a mild dessert with coffee or tea.

- 1 1/2 tablespoons butter softened (or margarine)
- 2/3 cup powdered sugar

- 3 tablespoons milk or enough to make it a glazing consistency
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Spray a 9-inch springform pan with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk all dry ingredients together. Make a well in the center and pour all wet ingredients in. Slowly start mixing the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until just combined. Toss in apple pieces and stir. Pour batter into prepared pan. In a small bowl, stir all ingredients for streusel together until butter pieces are small chunks found throughout the mixture. Sprinkle over top of the cake and bake 45-55 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted. Remove from oven and cool.
- Before serving, whip cream cheese and margarine together until smooth. Stir in powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk until smooth and runny. Add the milk slowly until desired drizzling consistency is reached. Un-hinge the springform pan and place cake on a serving platter. Drizzle with glaze and serve.
