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.
Ingredients
Method
- In a small skillet over medium/low heat, brown the butter for the streusel
- Combine all of the streusel ingredients in a mixing bowl, including the browned butter, & set aside
- 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.
- 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.
- In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients. In another bowl, combine the wet ingredients
- 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!)
- 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
- 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!)
- 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
- In a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar and heavy cream for the glaze
- Drizzle the glaze on top of the loaf, slice into 8-9 equal pieces, & enjoy warm!
