• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Brewed coffee, cooled
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract

• 0.5 cup Chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch square baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to combine.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brewed coffee, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cake tender.

Step 5

If using, fold in the chopped pecans or walnuts for added texture and flavor.

Step 6

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

Step 7

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

Step 8

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

If desired, sift powdered sugar over the top before serving for a decorative touch.

Step 10

Slice into squares and enjoy your Whole Wheat Coffee Cake with a hot cup of coffee or tea!
