Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 0.75 cup brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 cup chopped pecans (optional)
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour (for streusel topping)
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter (for streusel topping), melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9x13-inch baking pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together 2.5 cups of all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together 0.5 cup softened unsalted butter and 1 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture in three additions, alternating with milk. Begin and end with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
In a small bowl, prepare the cinnamon-sugar filling by mixing 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon and 0.75 cup brown sugar. For a nutty version, stir in 0.5 cup chopped pecans (optional).
Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the batter.
Add the remaining batter and spread it carefully over the cinnamon layer, making sure it covers the filling completely.
To make the streusel topping, combine 0.5 cup all-purpose flour with 0.25 cup melted butter and 0.5 cup of the reserved cinnamon-sugar mixture. Mix with a fork until crumbly. Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the top of the batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the coffeecake to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature for the best flavor.
