Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 cup Chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to combine the dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be thick but smooth.
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and chopped nuts (if using). This will serve as your streusel topping.
Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Sprinkle half of the streusel mixture over the batter.
Pour the remaining batter over the streusel layer and spread gently to create an even layer. Top with the remaining streusel mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Optionally, dust the top with powdered sugar before serving.
Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Qwik Coffee Cake with a hot cup of coffee or tea!
