Easy Coffee Crumb Cake Recipe


This coffee crumb cake features a moist vanilla cake topped with a buttery crumb mixture, perfect for serving with coffee or tea. The recipe takes about 50 minutes from start to finish and serves 8 people.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- Mix the Cake Batter: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the sour cream and vanilla extract.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Prepare the Crumb Topping: In a separate bowl, combine the brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and chopped nuts (if using). Add melted butter and mix until crumbly.
- Assemble the Cake: Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle half of the crumb topping over the batter. Pour the remaining batter on top and finish with the remaining crumb topping.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
