Coffee Cake Loaf w/ Streusel

Nothing says "perfect breakfast" quite like a slice of warm coffee cake with that subtle crunch of streusel and a deliciously sweet glaze on top. This recipe is wonderful for keeping in the kitchen throughout the week so that you always have that little pick-me-up whenever you need it.
Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 35 minutes
Total Time 55 minutes
Servings: 8 large slices
Course: Breakfast, Dessert
Cuisine: American

Ingredients
  

Streusel Filling & Topping
  • 1 ½ cup all-purpose flour 208g
  • 3 tbsp granulated sugar 41g
  • ¼ cup + 2 tbsp lightly packed dark brown sugar 74g
  • tsp fine salt
  • ½ cup + 1 tbsp browned butter 127g before browning, ~113g after browning
Coffee Cake
  • cup room temp. unsalted butter 77g
  • 1 cup granulated sugar 215g
  • 1 ⅓ cup cake flour 165g
  • 1 ¼ tsp baking powder 5g
  • tsp baking soda 2g
  • ¼ tsp fine salt 1g
  • 1 tsp Optional ground cinnamon 3g
  • ½ cup room temp. buttermilk 120ml
  • 2 tbsp room temp. sour cream 30g
  • 1 room temp. egg
  • Vanilla extract to taste
Glaze
  • ½ cup powdered sugar 60g
  • 1 – 2 tbsp heavy cream 15 – 30ml

Method
 

  1. In a small skillet over medium/low heat, brown the butter for the streusel
  2. Combine all of the streusel ingredients in a mixing bowl, including the browned butter, & set aside
  3. Preheat your oven to 350℉ & line a loaf pan with butter & parchment paper. I like to keep an inch or two of parchment paper sticking out at the top of the pan so that I have little “handles” when I want to easily remove the loaf from the pan after it has baked.
  4. In one mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar and room temp butter for the coffee cake. Mix very well with a rubber spatula until light and fluffy. You can also make the coffee cake batter with a stand mixer if you’d prefer.
  5. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients. In another bowl, combine the wet ingredients
  6. Add the wet ingredients to the dry in two parts, mixing in between. After adding the last half, continue mixing until just combined (don’t over-mix!)
  7. Add half of the batter to the loaf pan & spread it out evenly. Crumble half of the streusel on top so that it’s well distributed. Add the remaining batter on top and (optional) use a knife to swirl the layers together a little bit. Lastly, add the remaining streusel on top
  8. Bake at 350℉ for 30-35 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a couple of crumbs on it (this means that it is still moist!)
  9. Let the coffee cake cool in its pan for ~20 minutes before removing. If you try to immediately remove it from the pan, it may break apart while it’s still piping hot
  10. In a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar and heavy cream for the glaze
  11. Drizzle the glaze on top of the loaf, slice into 8-9 equal pieces, & enjoy warm!
