🥘Ingredients

For the Cake

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled

For the Cinnamon Streusel

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2Grease a 9×9 inch baking dish and set aside.
3In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
4Mix well to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
5Add the softened butter to the dry ingredients and mix using an electric mixer until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
6This should take about 2-3 minutes.
7The mixture should have a sandy texture with small lumps of butter visible.
8In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla extract, and sour cream until well combined.
9Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined.
10The batter will be thick.
11Stir in the cooled coffee until just combined.
12The batter will be quite thin and runny.
13Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
Set aside.
14In a small bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt for the streusel.
15Add the melted butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
16The streusel should have a crumbly texture with small lumps of butter visible.
17Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the batter in the baking dish.
18Pour the remaining batter over the streusel and spread it evenly.
19The streusel should be visible between the layers of cake batter.
20Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
21The cake should be golden brown and the streusel topping should be crispy.
22Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
23This will allow the cake to set and make it easier to slice.
