Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.75 cups unsalted butter, softened
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cups sour cream
- 0.75 cups brown sugar, packed
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cups chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
- 0.5 cups powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round or square baking pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add the softened butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and sour cream to the dry ingredients. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until well-combined and smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
In a separate bowl, mix the brown sugar, cinnamon, and chopped nuts (if using) to create the filling.
Spread half of the cake batter evenly into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar filling mixture over the batter.
Carefully spread the remaining batter over the filling layer, ensuring it is even and smooth.
Bake the coffee cake 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 about 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.
Drizzle the glaze over the cooled coffee cake and let it set for a few minutes before serving.
