Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 0.75 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for batter)
- 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon (for streusel)
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.5 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch rectangular baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, prepare the streusel topping by combining 0.5 cup of brown sugar, 1.5 teaspoons of ground cinnamon, and 0.5 cup of flour. Add 0.25 cup of softened butter and mix with a fork or your fingers until crumbly. If desired, stir in 0.5 cup of chopped pecans or walnuts. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2.5 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 0.5 teaspoon of baking soda, 0.25 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
Add 0.75 cup of softened unsalted butter to the dry ingredients and mix until the mixture resembles fine crumbs.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together 2 eggs, 2 teaspoons of pure vanilla extract, 1 cup of sour cream, and 2 tablespoons of milk until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Do not overmix.
Spread half of the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle half of the streusel mixture evenly over the batter.
Add the remaining batter on top, spreading gently with a spatula to minimize disturbing the streusel layer underneath. Finish with the remaining streusel on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the coffee cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then slice and serve warm or at room temperature. If desired, dust with powdered sugar before serving.
