Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large Egg
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, cold and diced
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour (for streusel)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 0.75 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine 0.5 cup melted unsalted butter, 1 large egg, 0.75 cup milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan using a spatula.
To make the streusel topping, combine 0.75 cup brown sugar, 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 0.5 cup all-purpose flour, and 0.25 cup cold diced butter in a small bowl.
Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix the ingredients until crumbly.
Sprinkle the streusel mixture evenly over the batter in the pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the coffee cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
