The more substantial the streusel, the better the coffee cake.
I’m pretty sure the reason coffee cake is a fan favorite is because of the crunchy cinnamon topping . And, in my opinion, the more substantial the streusel, the better the coffee cake.
With that in mind, I made it my mission to perfect the streusel. I found that using melted butter was better than using cold, cubed butter. Once cooled, it gets gently folded into a mixture of flour and sugar, creating large clumps that stay intact during baking. For extra crunch, I highly recommend adding chopped nuts such as pecans or walnuts. And don’t forget the cinnamon — there’s an entire tablespoon in just the topping to really make the warm spice sing.
Of course, it’s important to not overlook coffee cake’s other two big components: the filling and the cake itself. I didn’t skimp on the filling but instead created a thick cinnamon-sugar layer that runs right through the middle. As for the cake, a combination of sour cream, butter, eggs, baking powder and baking soda create a moist and fluffy crumb.
While other recipes use a square cake or tube pan, I prefer a round springform pan. Not only does it help make it easier to separate the cake from the pan, but it also allows you to cut triangular slices, which may be unexpected compared to the usual square cuts. This coffee cake needs an hour to cool before slicing. It’ll still be warm at this point , but it’s also fantastic at room temperature if you can’t get to it at that moment.
