Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons kosher salt
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups brown sugar, packed
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x9-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, kosher salt, and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, buttermilk, large eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cake dense.

Step 5

Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar with the remaining 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon to create the cinnamon-sugar filling.

Step 7

Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the layer of batter in the baking dish.

Step 8

Gently pour the remaining batter over the cinnamon-sugar layer and spread it evenly to cover.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove the coffee cake from the oven and let it cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing.

Step 11

Optional: Dust the cooled cake with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.

Step 12

Serve warm or at room temperature with a cup of coffee or tea.
