Coffee Cake Recipe

Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.

Combine Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

Cream Butter and Eggs

In another bowl, cream the softened butter until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures

Add the buttermilk to the butter mixture, mixing until smooth. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Add First Layer of Batter

Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared pan, smoothing it out with a spatula.

Prepare Streusel Topping

In a medium bowl, mix together the granulated sugar, flour, and ground cinnamon. Pour in the melted butter and mix until crumbly.

Add First Layer of Streusel

Sprinkle half of the streusel topping over the first layer of cake batter in the pan.

Finish with Remaining Batter and Streusel

Pour the remaining cake batter over the streusel layer, then top with the remaining streusel mixture.

Bake the Cake

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Cool the Cake

Once baked, allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, remove it from the pan and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
