Description
A simple and delicious coffee cake recipe perfect for breakfast or dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- For the Streusel Topping:
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.
- To make the streusel topping, combine the flour and brown sugar in a small bowl. Cut in the cold butter with a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the cake batter.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- You can add a pinch of cinnamon to the streusel topping for extra flavor.
- Ensure your butter is at the correct temperature for the best results.
