We’re Adam and Joanne from inspiredtaste.net and welcome to our kitchen.
We’re showing you how to make our Cinnamon Streusel Swirled Coffee Cake with a vanilla
butter batter and brown sugar cinnamon streusel.
Start with your dry ingredients.
Here I’m sifting all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt together.
If you don’t have a fine mesh sieve, you can whisk these ingredients together instead.
Next, beat room temperature butter with both brown sugar and granulated sugar.
We want to beat them for a few minutes or until they are light and fluffy.
It’s time for the eggs.
I’m adding two whole eggs and one egg yolk to this batter and like to beat each egg into
the batter individually.
Don’t forget.
The full recipe with ingredient amounts is on Inspired Taste.
Now for some flavor.
Add a good amount of vanilla extract as well as some almond extract.
The combination of vanilla and almond extracts is what makes this cake taste like it comes
from a high-end bakery.
With the mixer on low speed, beat in about 1/3 of the flour mixture.
When it’s almost incorporated, add in another third.
Now, grab some sour cream and beat that in.
The fat in the sour cream makes this cake flavorful, light, and very moist.
Now finish with the remaining flour.
I like to finish stirring with a spatula to be sure the batter is completely blended.
Set the cake batter aside and move on to the streusel.
Start with melted butter then add molasses, cinnamon and nutmeg.
You can find the full recipe with ingredient amounts as well as more tips on Inspired Taste.
To the spiced butter, add flour, brown sugar and granulated sugar and then stir everything
together until a soft dough forms.
It’s time to bake the cake.
Spread about half of the batter into the bottom of a 9-inch by 13-inch baking pan.
It’s okay if the batter doesn’t reach all the way to the corners.
Now scatter about half of the soft brown sugar streusel on top.
Dollop the remaining cake batter on top of that and spread it out into an even layer.
It’s okay if some of the streusel mixes into the batter — that’s what gives the
cake its swirled look.
Finally, scatter the remaining streusel over the top.
It might look like too much, but as the coffee cake bakes, the cake rises and some of the
streusel sinks down.
After the cake has baked and is cool you can make the maple butter drizzle.
This is optional, but wow does it taste good!
Melt a couple tablespoons of butter then stir in some maple syrup.
Next whisk in powdered sugar and a bit of salt.
The mixture will be too thick, so thin it out with some milk until you can easily drizzle
it over the cake.
And that’s it, outrageously good coffee cake with a vanilla butter cake and brown
sugar cinnamon streusel.
Enjoy!!
