Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cups Unsalted butter
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- 1 cups Buttermilk
- 1 teaspoons Cinnamon
- 0.25 cups Brown sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan and set it aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Cut the cold unsalted butter into small pieces and add it to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs lightly, then whisk in the vanilla extract and buttermilk.
Pour the wet ingredients into the butter-flour mixture, and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should remain slightly lumpy.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the top of the batter to create a sugary finish.
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Remove the kuchen from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature with coffee or tea for best results. Enjoy!
