Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cups strong brewed coffee, cooled
- 0.5 cups sour cream
- 2 units large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons strong brewed coffee (for glaze)
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, cooled brewed coffee, sour cream, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
To make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar and 3 tablespoons of brewed coffee in a small bowl until smooth and glossy. Add more coffee if needed to reach your desired consistency.
Once the cake has cooled, drizzle the coffee glaze evenly over the top of the cake.
Optional: Sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon over the glaze for added flavor and garnish.
Slice and serve at room temperature. Enjoy your Coffee Glazed Coffee Cake with a freshly brewed cup of coffee!
