- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 0.75 cup whole milk
- 1 whole large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter, softened
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 the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
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 into an even layer.
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon to make the topping.
Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the batter.
Dot the top with small pieces of softened butter evenly across the surface.
Bake the coffee cake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before serving.
Slice into squares and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
