Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cups Pecans or walnuts (optional)
- 0.5 cups Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three additions, alternating with the sour cream. Begin and end with the flour mixture. Mix just until combined; do not overmix.
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, and chopped nuts (if using). This will serve as the streusel filling and topping.
Spread half of the cake batter evenly into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle half of the streusel mixture over the batter.
Spread the remaining cake batter over the streusel layer and smooth it out with a spatula. Then sprinkle the remaining streusel mixture evenly on top.
Bake the coffee cake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
For the optional glaze, whisk the powdered sugar and milk together in a small bowl until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled coffee cake before serving.
Slice and serve with a warm cup of coffee or tea. Enjoy!
