Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter (softened)
• 0.75 cup milk
• 1 unit large egg
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup light brown sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 cup all-purpose flour (for crumb topping)
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter (melted)
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt. Stir until evenly blended.

Step 3

Add 0.5 cup of softened unsalted butter, 0.75 cup of milk, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until a smooth batter forms, being careful not to overmix.

Step 4

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it into an even layer using a spatula.

Step 5

To prepare the crumb topping, mix 0.75 cup of light brown sugar, 1.5 teaspoons of ground cinnamon, and 1 cup of all-purpose flour in a medium bowl. Stir in the 0.5 cup of melted butter until the mixture forms coarse crumbs.

Step 6

Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the batter, ensuring the entire surface is covered.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the coffeecake from the oven and let it cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 10 minutes. If desired, dust the top with 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar for extra sweetness and presentation.

Step 9

Slice into squares and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy with your favorite cup of coffee or tea!
