Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter
- 0.75 cups milk
- 1 unit large egg
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.25 cups all-purpose flour (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Cut the 0.5 cup of unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a small bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
In a separate bowl, mix together the light brown sugar, ground cinnamon, melted butter, and 0.25 cups of flour to make the crumble topping.
Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the coffee cake to cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
