How To make Coffee Cake with Streusel Topping

Best Classic Coffee Cake Recipe with Extra Crumb Topping

This classic coffee cake recipe is super moist, packed with cinnamon and sugar, and extra crumb topping! Classic coffee cake would be amazing for breakfast or any time of the day. Coffee cake surprisingly does not contain any coffee, but is known to be a delicious snack to go with coffee, hence where it got its name. There are a lot of steps in this recipe due to all of the layers in coffee cake, but it is well worth the time to make this coffee cake recipe! My favorite part about coffee cake is the crumb topping, so this recipe has extra crumb topping! Feel free to add chopped pecans to the crumb topping for an additional crunch. You may have extra crumb topping leftover, and if you do, feel free to freeze any remaining crumb topping. It will be good in the freezer for up to 6 months and then you have it on a hand for a small baked good or to make your second batch of this coffee cake recipe!

Ingredients
Crumb Topping
4 tbsp unsalted butter (cubed & softened)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp Kosher salt

Cinnamon Layer
2 tbsp. granulated sugar
1/2 tbsp. all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon

Coffee Cake Batter
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/8 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/8 tsp Kosher salt
8 tbsp. unsalted butter (softened)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup sour cream (substitute additional milk or plain Greek yogurt)
1/8 cup Whole Milk
2 large eggs
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Directions
1. To make the crumb topping, add cubed softened butter, brown sugar, all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, and kosher salt to a large bowl. Use a pastry cutter, two forks, or your hands to mix together, breaking apart the butter until it is mixed into the ingredients and is a crumb-like consistency. Set this bowl aside.
2. To make the cinnamon sugar mixture, add granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, and ground cinnamon to a small bowl. Use a small whisk or a fork, and mix together to break up any granulated sugar. Place this bowl with the other bowl that you set aside.
3. To make the dry ingredients of the batter, add all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and kosher salt to a large bowl. Whisk these ingredients together until they are combined. Set this flour mixture aside. It will be added to the wet ingredients.
4. In later large bowl of a hand or stand mixer, cream together the softened butter and add the granulated sugar mixing until it is fully incorporated. Add the sour cream to the mixture. If you do not have sour cream, you can also use milk or plain Greek yogurt. Continue mixing until the sour cream is incorporated into the mixture.
5. Add milk and then add the eggs, one at a time, and add vanilla extract. Start adding in the flour mixture in small increments making sure to not over mix the batter. It will be pretty smooth, but will be thicker than regular cake batter. Add in the remaining flour mixture and use a spatula to add any flour from the sides and the bottom of the bowl into the mixture.
6. Grease the sides in the bottom of an 8 x 8 pan. Add half of the batter mixture to the bottom of the pan. Use a spatula and evenly spread out the batter making sure it covers the bottom and reaches the corners of the pan. This batter is really thick, so be patient with this process.
7. Using a spoon, sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture onto the batter in the pan. Try to get this layer as even as possible since it creates that nice line in the middle of the coffee cake. Add the remaining batter to the pan and carefully spread out the batter evenly on top of the cinnamon sugar mixture making sure the batter goes to the corners of the pan. Try not to stir or mix the batter together or you will not have that line of cinnamon sugar in the middle of the coffee cake.
Start adding generous amounts of crumb topping to the top of the batter, making sure you cover the corners of the pan with crumb topping too.
8. Bake in a 350 °F preheated oven for around 30 - 35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean and where the crumb topping turns a light brown.
