Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 unit Large egg
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour (for topping)
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease an 8-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt.
In a separate bowl, mix 0.5 cup of melted unsalted butter, 1 cup of milk, 1 large egg, and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract until combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
In a small bowl, combine 0.5 cup of brown sugar and 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon to create the cinnamon-sugar layer.
Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the batter.
Pour the remaining batter on top and gently spread it to cover the cinnamon-sugar layer. Sprinkle the rest of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the top.
In another small bowl, make the crumble topping by mixing 0.25 cup of softened butter, 0.5 cup of all-purpose flour, and 0.25 cup of granulated sugar with a fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle this evenly over the cake.
Bake the coffee cake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
