Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Cinnamon Streusel Topping:
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the sour cream and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.
- In another bowl, prepare the cinnamon streusel topping by combining flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Stir in the melted butter until crumbly.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon streusel on top.
- Pour the remaining batter over the streusel layer, smoothing it out with a spatula. Lastly, top with the remaining streusel mixture.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the coffee cake to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
