Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 units large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup milk
- 0.5 cup packed light brown sugar
- 0.75 cup chilled unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup all-purpose flour (for crumble topping)
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for crumble)
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons milk (for drizzle)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together 2.5 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.
Add 0.5 cup of softened unsalted butter to the dry ingredients and mix using a hand mixer or stand mixer until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1 cup of milk.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly to cover the bottom.
In a small bowl, mix together 0.5 cup of packed light brown sugar and 0.5 teaspoon of cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture over the batter layer.
Spread the remaining batter evenly over the cinnamon-sugar layer.
To prepare the crumble topping, combine 0.75 cups of chilled unsalted butter, 0.75 cups of all-purpose flour, and 0.5 teaspoon of cinnamon in a bowl. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to mix until the texture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the top layer of batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
For the glaze, whisk together 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar and 2 teaspoons of milk in a small bowl until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake before serving.
Slice and enjoy your Crumble Topped Coffee Cake with a cup of your favorite coffee or tea!
