This classic coffee cake is soft, buttery, and layered with a cinnamon-sugar streusel topping. Buttermilk gives it a tender crumb and rich flavor. Great with your morning coffee!
Ingredients
Directions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch or 8x8-inch baking pan.
Make the streusel: In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, cinnamon, flour, nuts (if using), and melted butter. Set aside.
Mix the batter:
Cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add vanilla.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Mix just until combined.
Assemble: Pour half the batter into the pan. Sprinkle half the streusel over it. Add the remaining batter, then top with remaining streusel.
Bake for 35–40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool slightly and serve warm or at room temperature.
