Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°.
- Filling Layer: Combine all ingredients together in a bowl until combined and no visible chunks.
- Streusel: Add the ingredient to a large bowl using a pastry knife cut the butter into the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon until the butter is about the size of small little balls about a ¼” in diameter to make a streusel. It’s ok if there are some bigger and some smaller. Set aside.
- Coffee Cake Batter: Next, cream the butter in a stand mixer with the paddle attachment on high speed for about 5-7 minutes or until light and fluffy.
- Add in the sugar and cream for 3 to 4 minutes on medium-high speed.
- Pour in the vanilla and then add in 1 egg at a time until they are completely mixed in. Stop and scrape the bowl before going to the next step.
- While everything is mixing, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder in a separate medium size bowl. Set aside.
- Turn the speed to low and add in half of the flour mixture to the stand mixer and mix.
- Next, slowly pour in all the milk until combined.
- Add the remaining flour and mix until everything is completely mixed in. Stop and scrape the mixture and then continue mixing on low speed for further 1 to 2 minutes.
- Transfer ½ of the cake batter to a 13x9 casserole dish that’s been sprayed with non-stick spray and evenly spread it out using a spatula until flat.
- Evenly sprinkle the middle layer filling over top of the batter in the pan and gently press down to flatten and smooth out.
- Add the remaining cake batter on top of the streusel and gently spread it out completely covering the streusel.
- Finish by sprinkling on the streusel covering the cake batter completely and then bake at 350° for about 50-55 minutes or until it is firm in the center or reaches 190° to 195° internally in the center of the cake.
- Cool on a rack slightly before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Make-Ahead: You can make this recipe up to 1 day ahead of time.
- How to Reheat: Add the desired amount to a sheet pan and cover with foil. Bake at 325° for only 5-7 minutes or until warm. It also reheats very well in the microwave by heating a serving at a time on high until warm.
- How to Store: Cover and keep at room temperature for up to 3 days. Cover and keep in the refrigerator for up to 6 days. Cover and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator for 1 day before reheating and serving.
- If you do not have a stand mixer you can use electric hand beaters.
- Make sure the butter is softened before whipping it in the stand mixer.
- To make the streusel, you can also add the ingredients to a food processor and pulse until the butter is cut in.
