Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 1 cup Unsalted butter, cold and cut into cubes
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 teaspoons Cinnamon
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 2 Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Mix well using a fork or whisk.

Step 3

Add the cold cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your hands, cut the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Set aside 1 cup of the crumb mixture to use as the streusel topping.

Step 5

To the remaining crumb mixture, add the baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Stir to combine.

Step 6

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract.

Step 7

Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 9

Sprinkle the reserved crumb mixture evenly over the top of the batter to create the streusel topping.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Remove the coffee cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes before slicing.

Step 12

Optional: Dust the top with powdered sugar before serving for extra sweetness and presentation.
