Description
A moist and buttery coffee cake topped with crunchy cinnamon streusel. Perfect as a breakfast treat or mid-day snack.
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 cup sour cream
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla extract (halal)
Streusel: 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/3 cup flour, 1 tbsp ground cinnamon, 3 tbsp cold butter
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease a 9-inch square baking pan.
Cream together softened butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time. Stir in sour cream and vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt. Fold dry ingredients into wet batter.
Mix streusel ingredients separately using a fork or pastry cutter. Mixture should resemble coarse crumbs.
Layer half the batter in the pan. Top with half of the streusel. Add remaining batter and finish with remaining topping.
Bake for 40–45 minutes. Let cool before slicing and serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
For a gluten-reduced version, use 1 ¾ cup almond flour.
Add citrus zest or fruits like blueberries for variation.
