Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar (packed)
- 1.5 tablespoons Cinnamon
- 1.33 cups All-purpose flour (for crumb topping)
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (melted for crumb topping)
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium bowl, whisk together 2.5 cups all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together 0.5 cup softened butter and 1 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition. Then, mix in the sour cream, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until fully incorporated. Be careful not to overmix, as this may result in a dense cake.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
In a small bowl, prepare the crumb topping by combining 0.75 cup brown sugar, 1.5 tablespoons cinnamon, and 1.33 cups flour. Pour in 0.5 cup melted butter and use a fork to stir until large crumbs form.
Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the batter in the baking dish, covering the surface completely.
Bake the coffee cake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool completely before dusting it lightly with 0.5 cup powdered sugar for a classic finishing touch.
Slice the cake into 9 squares and serve with your favorite coffee or tea. Enjoy!
