Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round or square baking pan and set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 0.75 cups granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 0.5 teaspoons salt.
Add the softened butter to the dry ingredients and mix using a hand mixer or stand mixer until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Gradually add this wet mixture to the dry ingredients, blending until smooth.
Transfer half of the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading evenly with a spatula.
In a microwave-safe bowl, warm the peanut butter slightly (10-15 seconds) to make it easier to spread. Drop spoonfuls of peanut butter onto the batter and gently swirl using a knife.
Next, drop small dollops of jelly on top of the swirled peanut butter. Use a clean knife to gently swirl the jelly into the peanut butter and batter.
Spread the remaining batter over the top, carefully smoothing it to cover the filling layers.
To prepare the crumb topping, combine 0.5 cups of flour and 0.25 cups of brown sugar in a bowl. Cut in the cold butter cubes using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture forms coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the cake batter in the pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Allow the coffeecake to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
