Description
A moist and tender coffee cake with a sweet cinnamon streusel topping.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- For the Streusel:
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the sour cream, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Prepare the streusel: In a medium bowl, combine the brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Cut in the cold butter with a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Spread half of the cake batter into the prepared baking pan. Sprinkle half of the streusel mixture over the batter.
- Dollop the remaining cake batter over the streusel and spread evenly. Sprinkle the remaining streusel mixture on top.
- Bake for 40-50 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
- For an extra moist cake, ensure your sour cream is at room temperature.
- You can add 1/2 cup of chopped nuts to the streusel for added texture.
- This cake is best served at room temperature.
