Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional, such as pecans or walnuts)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch square baking pan or lightly coat it with non-stick baking spray.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. You can use a hand mixer or stand mixer for this.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, alternating with the sour cream. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and chopped nuts (if using) to make the crumble topping.
Spread half of the batter into the prepared baking pan. Sprinkle half of the crumble topping evenly over the batter.
Spread the remaining batter over the crumble layer, using a spatula to smooth it out. Sprinkle the remaining crumble topping over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the coffee cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.
