Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cinnamon Sugar Coffee Cake.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
While it warms up, grab a 9x13-inch baking dish and give it a light spray with cooking spray.
Step 3
For a delightful touch, sprinkle some cinnamon sugar on the bottom to create a sweet base.
Step 4
In a mixing bowl, combine brown sugar, chopped walnuts, softened butter, flour, and ground cinnamon.
Step 5
Use a fork to mix everything together until it becomes crumbly, resembling a delicious streusel topping.
Step 6
In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt to prepare the dry ingredients for the batter.
Step 7
Now, in a separate bowl, beat the eggs with an electric mixer until they’re frothy and full of air.
Step 8
Gradually add in the white sugar and melted butter, continuing to beat until the mixture is creamy and smooth.
Step 9
Next, gently mix in the milk, sour cream, and vanilla extract until everything is well combined.
Step 10
Carefully fold the flour mixture into the milk-butter mixture, being mindful not to overmix—this will keep your batter light and fluffy.
Step 11
Once combined, spread half of the batter into your prepared baking dish, creating an even layer.
Step 12
Sprinkle half of the streusel mixture over the batter for that irresistible crunch.
Step 13
Then, dollop the remaining batter on top and finish with the rest of the streusel, ensuring every bite will be a delightful surprise.
Step 14
Place your baking dish in the center of the preheated oven and let it bake for 15 to 20 minutes.
Step 15
You’ll know it’s ready when a fork inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 16
Enjoy the wonderful aroma filling your kitchen as you await this delicious treat!.
