Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut
- 0.5 cups brown sugar (for streusel)
- 0.75 cups shredded coconut (for streusel)
- 0.25 cups unsalted butter, melted (for streusel)
- 0.25 cups all-purpose flour (for streusel)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round or square baking pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually alternate adding the dry ingredients and coconut milk to the wet mixture, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Fold in the shredded sweetened coconut gently.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
For the streusel topping, combine the brown sugar, shredded coconut, melted butter, and flour in a small bowl. Mix with a fork until crumbly.
Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the cake batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the coffee cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy with a cup of coffee or tea!
