Introduction:
Are you looking for a delectable companion to your morning coffee or tea? Look no further! In this post, we’ll guide you through crafting a scrumptious Cinnamon Coffee Cake (also known as crumb cake) that will make your taste buds dance with joy.
Ingredients for Your Cinnamon Sugar Cake:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butte
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
For the Cinnamon Streusel Topping:
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Instructions:
Preheat Your Oven for Your Coffee Cake:
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Don’t forget to grease and flour your baking pan.
Prepare the Cinnamon Streusel Topping:
In a medium bowl, create the cinnamon streusel topping (also known as crumb topping) for your Cinnamon Cake by combining sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Add melted butter and mix until you achieve a delightful crumbly texture. Set this mixture aside for later.
Cream the Butter and Sugar:
In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until it’s light and fluffy.
Add Eggs and Vanilla:
Gradually add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract to infuse a warm and inviting aroma.
Combine Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Blend Wet and Dry Ingredients:
Slowly introduce the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with sour cream, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Layer the Batter and Streusel:
Pour half of the batter into your prepared baking pan, then sprinkle half of the cinnamon streusel topping (or crumb topping) over the batter. Repeat the process with the remaining batter and streusel.
Baking Time:
Bake in your preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center emerges clean and crumb-free.
Cool and Serve Your Cinnamon Coffee Cake:
Allow your Coffee Cake to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, slice into squares and savor with your favorite coffee or tea.
With this Cinnamon Bun Cake recipe, you can elevate your morning routine with a homemade treat that’s not only delicious but also a delightful pairing for your beloved coffee or tea. Give it a try and let the comforting flavors of cinnamon and enhance your day. Happy baking!
