Classic Homemade Coffee Cake Recipe

🧂 Ingredients

• 1 cup packed light brown sugar
• ½ cup all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 stick unsalted butter
• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon sea salt
• 2 sticks unsalted butter
• 1 1/4 cups sugar
• 1 tablespoon vanilla
• 5 large eggs
• 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 ½ cups whole milk

Instructions

• 1 Preheat the oven to 350°.
• 2 Filling Layer: Combine all ingredients together in a bowl until combined and no
  visible chunks.
• 3 Streusel: Add the ingredient to a large bowl using a pastry knife cut the butter
  into the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon until the butter is about the size of
  small little balls about a ¼” in diameter to make a streusel. It’s ok if there
  are some bigger and some smaller. Set aside.
• 4 Coffee Cake Batter: Next, cream the butter in a stand mixer with the paddle
  attachment on high speed for about 5-7 minutes or until light and fluffy.
• 5 Add in the sugar and cream for 3 to 4 minutes on medium-high speed.
• 6 Pour in the vanilla and then add in 1 egg at a time until they are completely
  mixed in. Stop and scrape the bowl before going to the next step.
• 7 While everything is mixing, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder in
  a separate medium size bowl. Set aside.
• 8 Turn the speed to low and add in half of the flour mixture to the stand mixer
  and mix.
• 9 Next, slowly pour in all the milk until combined.
• 10 Add the remaining flour and mix until everything is completely mixed in. Stop
  and scrape the mixture and then continue mixing on low speed for further 1 to 2
  minutes.
• 11 Transfer ½ of the cake batter to a 13×9 casserole dish that’s been sprayed with
  non-stick spray and evenly spread it out using a spatula until flat.
• 12 Evenly sprinkle the middle layer filling over top of the batter in the pan and
  gently press down to flatten and smooth out.
• 13 Add the remaining cake batter on top of the streusel and gently spread it out
  completely covering the streusel.
• 14 Finish by sprinkling on the streusel covering the cake batter completely and
  then bake at 350° for about 50-55 minutes or until it is firm in the center or
  reaches 190° to 195° internally in the center of the cake.
• 15 Cool on a rack slightly before slicing and serving.
