Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2.5 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 0.5 teaspoons of salt.

Step 3

Add the melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, and eggs to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Step 4

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly using a spatula.

Step 5

To make the crumb topping, combine 0.75 cups of brown sugar, 1.5 teaspoons of ground cinnamon, 0.75 cups of all-purpose flour, and the cold, cubed butter in a medium bowl. Use a fork or pastry cutter to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 6

Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the cake batter.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Allow the coffee cake to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
