Ingredients

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.75 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 0.75 cup brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
• 0.5 cup powdered sugar (optional for glaze)
• 1 tablespoon milk (for glaze)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Cut the butter into small cubes and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, beat together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Gradually stir this wet mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, cinnamon, and optional chopped nuts to make the streusel topping.

Step 7

Sprinkle the streusel mixture evenly over the top of the batter.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Optional: While the cake is baking, make a simple glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cake once it has cooled slightly.

Step 10

Allow the coffee cake to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Cut into squares and enjoy with your favorite cup of coffee or tea!
