Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
- 0.75 cups whole milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 0.75 cups brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 cups all-purpose flour (for the topping)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add the melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, and eggs to the dry ingredients. Stir until a smooth batter forms.
Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and ground cinnamon to create the cinnamon-sugar filling.
Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the batter in the pan.
Pour the remaining batter over the cinnamon-sugar layer, spreading it gently to cover.
In another small bowl, combine the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture with 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour and 2 tablespoons of softened butter. Use a fork to make a crumbly topping.
Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the batter in the pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow the coffee cake to cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
