Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup brown sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together to create the cinnamon swirl layer.
Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the batter in the pan.
Pour the remaining batter on top and gently spread it to cover the cinnamon layer.
Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture over the top of the batter.
Using a knife or skewer, gently swirl the batter to create a marbled effect.
Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
While the cake is baking, make the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Let the coffee cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then drizzle the glaze generously over the top.
Slice into squares and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy the cozy dessert!
