Ingredients
Coffee Cake
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup butter room temperature
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Cinnamon Streusel Topping
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup white sugar
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ¼ cup cold butter diced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F and grease an 8x8 square baking dish with butter or spray oil.
Making the crumb topping
- Add the flour, brown sugar, white sugar, and cinnamon to a small mixing bowl and mix together.
- Add the diced cold butter to the flour mixture and cut it into the flour mixture using a fork or two knives. Make sure all of the flour and sugar mixed and it becomes moist and crumbly. I have even used my hands.
Making the Cake
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt and mix well.
- Add the butter to the dry ingredients and blend well.
- Add the milk, egg, and vanilla extract and stir until just barely blended.
- Pour half of the cake batter into the baking dish and sprinkle a thin layer of the crumb topping across the batter.
- Then pour the remaining batter in and spread evenly.
- Top with the remaining streusel topping and again spread evenly across the top.
Baking the Coffee Cake
- Bake for 40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center.
- Cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing into 9 squares.
Notes
- Add ¼ -⅓ cup of chocolate chips to the batter.
- Add in ½ cup of fresh diced apples or fresh blueberries
- Add in nuts like chopped pecan or chopped walnuts to the streusel topping.
- Use sour cream or plain Greek yogurt in place of milk
- Swap out the butter in the cake for an equal amount of unsweetened applesauce for a lower calorie cake.
- Use almond milk , soy milk or any other non-diary milk. Vanilla flavored milk will also be good.
- Use gluten free flour like Bob's red Mill One-to-One.
- Double the recipe and bake in a 9x13 rectangle baking dish
- Store in an airtight container for a couple of days on the countertop or for up to a week in the refrigerator. I like to put mine in the microwave for about 10 seconds to warm it up just a tad before eating.
