Ingredients

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup whole milk
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 0.5 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons whole milk (for glaze)
• 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract (for glaze)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish and set aside.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract, then the sour cream. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.

Step 5

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three parts, alternating with the whole milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon for the streusel topping.

Step 7

Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar streusel mixture over the batter.

Step 8

Spread the remaining batter evenly over the streusel layer, then sprinkle the rest of the streusel on top.

Step 9

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

Step 10

While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons of milk, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 11

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool for at least 15-20 minutes. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake.

Step 12

Slice and serve your Dream Coffee Cake. Enjoy with your favorite cup of coffee or tea!
