Coffee Crumb Cakes Recipes

CINNAMON CRUMB COFFEE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350F.
• In the bowl of a mixer, cream together the butter and sugar, scraping down the sides occasionally. Add the vanilla and egg, mix in.
• In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder and salt. Add one half of it to the mixer, and when mostly combined, add the milk. Once the milk is mostly incorporated, add the rest of the flour.
• To make filling: in a small bowl, pinch together the softened butter, flour, sugar and cinnamon until soft crumbs form.
• To make topping: add the butter, flour, brown sugar and cinnamon to a food processor and pulse until coarse crumbs form (You can cut in with forks or a pastry cutter, but I am not patient enough for that!).
• Grease a 9x9 baking pan. Pour in ½ of cake batter, and spread to all four corners. Sprinkle the filling over top, then pour in remaining cake batter, and spread carefully across the top, disturbing the filling layer as little as possible (an offset spatula works well for this).
• Sprinkle the topping over the top and press lightly so it adheres.
• Bake in preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool to warm on wire rack before serving.

CLASSIC COFFEE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven and prep the pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F and butter or spray a 9 x 13-inch pan.
• Store the cake: You can make this cake a day or two in advance. Remove the cake from the pan and cover with plastic wrap. Keep it on the counter at room temperature. To freeze the cake, wrap it in plastic, followed by foil.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F and spray an 8-inch square pan with cooking spray.
• Mix the brown sugar and flour until well combined and lump free, add the melted butter and stir well or crumble it between your hands until well blended.
• Reserve 3/4 c of the mixture for topping, if desired mix cinnamon into the topping mixture.
• Mix in the baking powder, then add the milk and egg and mix well.
• Sprinkle the reserved crumbs evenly over the top of the batter.
• Bake at 325° for about 55-60 minutes or until cake pulls slightly away from the side of the pan and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Serve warm, even better with whipped cream, cool whip or ice-cream.
