Delicious Coffee Cake Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (200g) sugar
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Cinnamon Streusel Topping:

  • 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup (60g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup (60g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round or square cake pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the sugar and softened butter until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix just until combined — don’t overmix.
  6. To prepare the streusel topping, combine brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon in a bowl. Cut in the cold, cubed butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  7. Pour the batter into your prepared pan, then evenly sprinkle the streusel topping over the batter.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.
