Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 150 g granulated sugar (3/4 cup)
- 100 g light brown sugar (1/2 cup)
- 115 g melted butter (1/2 cup)
- 120 ml buttermilk (1/2 cup)
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 250 g all-purpose flour (2 cups)
- 1.5 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/3 cup white sugar + 2 tsp cinnamon (for the swirl)
- 2 tbsp (30 g) brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon (for the glaze)
- 1-2 tbsp milk
- 120 g icing sugar (for the glaze)
Instructions
- In a bowl combine all the wet ingredients plus the sugars: eggs,melted butter, buttermilk, vanilla, granulated sugar, brown sugar . Whisk until well combined.
- Sift together the dry ingredients then add to the wet ingredients: all purpose flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, salt. Gently mix until no streaks of flour remain.
- Transfer the batter to an 8x8 inch baking pan lined with baking paper or parchment.
- Top with the cinnamon sugar and use a chopstick or toothpick to swirl in the batter,
- For the streusel, simply mix the streusel ingredients together until crumbly. If too wet, add 1 tablespoon of flour at a time.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350F (180C) for 40-45 mins or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. At about 30 mins , loosely cover with foil to avoid crumble from browning too much.
- Once baked, cool the coffee cake in the pan for 10-15 mins, transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
- Top with the glaze and enjoy
Tip: Room-temperature eggs blend in far more smoothly; five minutes in warm water does the trick.
