Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 Eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Whole milk
• 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour (for streusel topping)
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, cold

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and set it aside.

Step 2

In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the 2 cups of flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.

Step 6

Spread half of the cake batter evenly into the prepared springform pan. Set aside the remaining batter.

Step 7

In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

Step 8

Spread the cream cheese mixture over the cake batter in the pan, leaving a small border around the edges. Carefully spoon the remaining cake batter on top of the cream cheese layer and spread evenly.

Step 9

To make the streusel topping, combine the 0.5 cup of flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 10

Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the top of the cake.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 12

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then run a knife around the edges and release the springform pan. Let the cake cool completely before slicing and serving.

Step 13

Enjoy your delicious cream cheese coffee cake with a cup of coffee or tea!
