Lemon White Chocolate Coffee Cake

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Lemon White Chocolate Coffee Cake.

1. Step 1

   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare an 8-inch springform or cake pan by coating it with cooking spray and lining the bottom with parchment paper. Set aside.

2. Step 2

   In a small bowl, mix together the flour and sugars using a fork. Pour in the melted butter and stir until the mixture is crumbly, leaving some larger crumbs. Set this topping aside while you prepare the cake batter.

3. Step 3

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, granulated sugar, and lemon zest. Use an electric mixer to cream the mixture until it becomes light and fluffy, which should take about 3 minutes.

4. Step 4

   Add the eggs, lemon juice, baking powder, vanilla extract, salt, and cinnamon to the creamed mixture. Beat everything together until well combined, approximately 3 minutes.

5. Step 5

   Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients while mixing on low speed until just combined. Then, add the sour cream and milk, mixing until the batter is smooth, which should take about 4 minutes.

6. Step 6

   Gently fold in the white chocolate chips into the batter. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and evenly sprinkle the crumb topping over the top.

7. Step 7

   Bake in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes, or until the cake is light golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

8. Step 8

   Allow the cake to cool on a wire rack for about 30 minutes before removing it from the pan. Serve and enjoy!
