Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon (for filling)
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar (for filling)
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar (for crumb topping)
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon (for crumb topping)
- 0.5 cup Melted butter (for crumb topping)
- 1.25 cups All-purpose flour (for crumb topping)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the whole milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
In a small bowl, prepare the filling by mixing the ground cinnamon and granulated sugar. Set aside.
Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar filling evenly over the layer.
Carefully spoon the remaining batter over the filling and spread it gently to cover.
In another small bowl, make the crumb topping by mixing the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and flour. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture forms clumps.
Sprinkle the crumb 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 coffee cake to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
