Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 0.75 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup chopped nuts (optional)
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
Cut in 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup milk, 2 eggs, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract. Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
In a separate bowl, mix together 3/4 cup brown sugar, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, and 1/2 cup chopped nuts if desired. Sprinkle half of this mixture evenly over the batter in the pan.
Pour the remaining batter over the sugar layer, spreading it evenly. Then sprinkle the rest of the brown sugar mixture on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the coffee cake cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing. If desired, dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Enjoy your delicious coffee cake warm or at room temperature!
