A Sweet Delight for Every Occasion!

Imagine starting your day with a slice of warm, comforting coffee cake that is covered in a delicious cinnamon streusel topping.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter cold and cut into cubes (for streusel)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat and Prepare: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch square baking pan to ensure the cake doesn’t stick.
  • Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time and then mix in the vanilla extract.
  • Combine with Sour Cream: Stir in the sour cream until well incorporated.
  • Combine Wet and Dry Mixes: Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
  • Layer the Batter: Pour half of the batter into your prepared baking pan.
  • Make Streusel Topping: In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, cinnamon, and the cold cubed butter until clumpy; this will create the streusel. Sprinkle half of this mixture over the batter in the pan.
  • Add Remaining Batter: Spread the remaining batter over the streusel layer in the pan, then top with the remaining streusel.
  • Bake: Place it in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Cool and Serve: Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
