Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
• 0.75 cups whole milk
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 0.75 cups brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 cups all-purpose flour (for the topping)
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, and eggs to the dry ingredients. Stir until a smooth batter forms.

Step 4

Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and ground cinnamon to create the cinnamon-sugar filling.

Step 6

Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the batter in the pan.

Step 7

Pour the remaining batter over the cinnamon-sugar layer, spreading it gently to cover.

Step 8

In another small bowl, combine the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture with 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour and 2 tablespoons of softened butter. Use a fork to make a crumbly topping.

Step 9

Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the batter in the pan.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Allow the coffee cake to cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
