Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup chopped nuts optional

Equipment

  • 9-inch round or square cake pan
  • Mixing bowls (large and small)
  • Whisk or electric mixer
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Rubber spatula or wooden spoon
  • Cooling rack

Method
 

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour a 9-inch round or square cake pan.
  2. Prepare the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Gradually add this mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, until just combined.
  4. Prepare the Topping: In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and chopped nuts (if using).
  5. Assemble the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Sprinkle the topping mixture over the top.
  6. Bake: Bake the cake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool and Serve: Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, you can add more cinnamon to the batter or the topping.
  • Feel free to experiment with different nuts, like walnuts or pecans, for added texture.
  • This coffee cake is perfect when paired with a hot cup of coffee or tea.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat slices in the microwave or oven for best results.
