📝 Instructions

11 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

3. Add the melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, and eggs to the dry ingredients. Stir until a smooth batter forms.

4. Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.

5. In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and ground cinnamon to create the cinnamon-sugar filling.

6. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the batter in the pan.

7. Pour the remaining batter over the cinnamon-sugar layer, spreading it gently to cover.

8. 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.

9. Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the batter in the pan.

10. Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

11. Allow the coffee cake to cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
