Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup toffee bits
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch square baking dish and set it aside.
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Using a pastry blender or your fingers, cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the toffee bits, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of brown sugar and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the coffee cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Optionally, dust the top with powdered sugar before serving for a decorative finish.
