Coffee Cake With Coffee
Ingredients:
For the cake:
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1 tablespoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 2 eggs
– 1 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the streusel topping:
– 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup brown sugar
– 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
For the coffee glaze:
– 1 cup powdered sugar
– 2-3 tablespoons brewed coffee, cooled
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9-inch baking dish.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt for the cake.
3. Add the softened butter to the dry ingredients and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs lightly and then stir in the brewed coffee and vanilla extract.
5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter may be slightly lumpy.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
7. In a small bowl, combine the ingredients for the streusel topping: flour, brown sugar, melted butter, and cinnamon. Mix until crumbly.
8. Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the cake batter in the baking dish.
9. Bake the coffee cake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
10. While the cake is baking, prepare the coffee glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and enough brewed coffee to create a smooth glaze of drizzling consistency.
11. Once the cake is baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes.
12. Drizzle the coffee glaze over the slightly cooled coffee cake.
13. Slice the coffee cake into squares and serve warm with a freshly brewed cup of coffee.
