Classic Homemade Coffee Cake Recipe
This delicious easy-to-make classic homemade coffee cake recipe is the perfect sweet treat to serve up for breakfast or brunch. I make mine extra thick with extra streusel for the most delicious coffee cake ever.
Coffee cake has been around for generations and is said to have originated in Dresden, Germany. The Danish however was responsible for enhancing the cake to make it sweet and introduced eating it with coffee.
This simple to make cake is one of my favorite things to enjoy with coffee in the morning time as it can balance out the flavors of sweet cake with bitter coffee, much like how you enjoy beignets with chicory coffee.

NOTE: this Streusel Kuchen recipe was demonstrated using all organic and non-gmo ingredients. However, you can attain similar results using non-organic ingredients.
INGEDIENTS:
DOUGH
1 C. whole milk (105*f warm)
1 ounce fresh compressed yeast
1/2 t. active dry yeast
3 ounces granulated sugar
1/2 t. freshly ground cinnamon
1/2 t. sea salt
3 egg yolks
1 t. vanilla extract
1 pound all-purpose flour (you can also use bread flour)
2 ounces unsalted butter
QUICK BAVARIAN CREAM
1 pint half & half (you can substitute whole milk or heavy cream)
1 vanilla bean (split & seeded)
1 ounce non-gmo corn starch
4 ounces granulated sugar
1/4 t. sea salt
2 eggs
2 ounces unsalted butter
+ 1-2 cups of freshly whipped sweetened whipped cream
STREUSEL TOPPING
4 ounces brown sugar
4 ounces granulated sugar
5 ounces unsalted butter
8 ounces all-purpose flour
1 t. sea salt
1 t. vanilla extract
1 T. freshly ground cinnamon
PREPARATION:
MAKE THE DOUGH
1)dissolve both the yeasts into the warm 105*f (NOT HOT!) whole milk and place into the bowl of a stand mixer
2)using a wire whisk, blend the egg yolks and vanilla extract into the milk
3)sift all the dry ingredients together: flour, sugar, cinnamon, salt and set aside
4)using the dough hook attachment, begin to work the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a sticky dough forms
5)add the room temperature unsalted butter into the dough
6)work the dough on medium-low speed for approximately 5 minutes
7)scrape the dough (dough will be somewhat sticky and soft) out into a well-buttered mixing bowl and cover with a towel and then let it rise in a warm spot for at least an hour or until doubled in size
8)after the dough is doubled in size, using your hands simply pull the risen dough out into a well buttered half sheet pan with parchment paper - try to GENTLY stretch the dough out into the corners of the pan
9)wrap tightly and allow to rise again in a warm spot, until doubled in size again (at least an hour)
10)after the dough has risen again, wash the top with egg-wash and apply the streusel topping *(streusel recipe below)
11)bake in preheated 400*f oven for 12 minutes - check it after 10 to see if there are any hot spots in your oven, you may need to rotate your pan
12)as soon as the top of the streusel looks golden-brown-and-delicious, pull it out of the oven and allow to cool completely. You can also chill it in the refrigerator overnight and fill it the next day
MAKE THE QUICK BAVARIAN CREAM
1)place the half & half into a heavy bottom sauce pan on low heat
2)split and scrape the vanilla bean into the half & half (add in the pod as well)
3)while your half & half and vanilla is coming up to the scald, sift the corn starch, granulated sugar and sea salt together
4)whisk the eggs into the dry ingredients until well combined and smooth
5)as soon as the half & half mixture comes to the boil, pour 1/3 of the hot liquid into the eggs/dry ingredients mixture and quickly whisk to temper the eggs
6)immediately scrape the tempered egg mixture back into the rest of the scalding milk, and whisk until fully cooked and thickened over LOW heat - this process should take between 4-5 minutes
7)as soon as the mixture thickens to a thick paste, strain it through a fine sieve into a hotel pan
8)allow to cool for a few minutes and then whisk in the room temperature unsalted butter until very smooth and glossy
9)wrap tightly and place in the refrigerator until completely cool
10)in the meantime, whisk the heavy cream until soft peaks form and then add in some confectioners sugar and vanilla extract - continue whisking until stiff peaks form - keep the whipped cream chilled until ready to lighten the Bavarian cream
11)as soon as the pastry cream is completely chilled down, fold in the stiff whipped cream mixture to lighten.....fold until smooth and creamy
12)refrigerate the Bavarian cream until completely cold and set up (at least an hour)
*MAKE THE CINNAMON STREUSEL
1)combine all ingredients into a medium mixing bowl and simply and lightly work the unsalted butter into the dry ingredients until a crumbly texture forms (streusel texture should be about the size of corn flakes - (DO NOT WORK IT INTO A SMOOTH PASTE) - set aside
ASSEMBLE THE STREUSEL KUCHEN
1)for easiest assembly, use a tape measure and cut the Streusel Kuchen into 6 equal rectangles
2)pull each rectangle out and split into 2 equal layers (just as you would with a layer cake
3)fill each rectangle with an even layer of the Bavarian cream and portion out as you like
4)dust with confectioner's sugar & ENJOY!

Instructions
00:00 Introduction
00:34 Preheat oven to 350F and lightly grease and flour a 13x9 baking pan.
00:38 In stand mixer, or using an electric mixer in large bowl, cream together butter and cream cheese.
01:00 Beat in sugars until light and fluffy.

01:56 Gradually add flour mixture to wet ingredients, alternating with buttermilk, until all of the flour mixture and buttermilk have been combined.

03:18 Sprinkle cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the batter.

Streusel
03:59 Melt butter in a medium-sized bowl on 10 second increments (stirring between) until just melted (you don't want it to be too hot, if it does get too hot allow to cool.
