Ingredients

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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with butter or nonstick cooking spray, and set it aside.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated. Add vanilla extract and mix well.

Step 5

Gradually mix in the flour mixture and buttermilk, alternating between the two and beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.

Step 6

In a separate small bowl, combine 1/2 cup brown sugar and 2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon to create the cinnamon-sugar filling.

Step 7

Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared pan and spread it into an even layer. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar filling evenly over the batter.

Step 8

Add the remaining batter on top of the cinnamon-sugar filling and smooth it out with a spatula.

Step 9

In another small bowl, make the crumb topping by mixing 1/2 cup melted butter, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon, and 1 cup of all-purpose flour with a fork until crumbly. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the batter.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Once baked, let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before slicing into squares.

Step 12

Optionally, dust the top with powdered sugar for garnish before serving. Enjoy with a hot cup of coffee or tea!
