Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter
• 0.75 cups milk
• 1 unit large egg
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups light brown sugar
• 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
• 0.25 cups all-purpose flour (for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Cut the 0.5 cup of unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.

Step 7

In a separate bowl, mix together the light brown sugar, ground cinnamon, melted butter, and 0.25 cups of flour to make the crumble topping.

Step 8

Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the batter.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Allow the coffee cake to cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
