Coffee Cake

This deliciously moist, vanilla-scented cake features a cinnamon-brown sugar swirl in the middle, and buttery streusel on top. As it bakes, the batter puffs up and creates delectably sweet, cinnamon-sugar laced peaks and valleys.

Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • cups milk preferably whole
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/3 cups packed brown sugar
  • 4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • cup unsalted butter melted

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 13x9-inch baking dish with cooking spray or a thin layer of butter.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the liquid ingredients and mix until well blended.
  • Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan.
  • In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon and mix well.
  • Sprinkle half of the brown sugar mixture evenly over the batter in the pan.
  • Dollop the remaining batter over top and spread out to cover the brown sugar. It’s OK if some of the cinnamon sugar gets swirled into the batter.
  • Sprinkle the remaining brown sugar mixture evenly over the batter.
  • Drizzle the melted butter over the top.
  • Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a wooden pick comes out with moist crumbs clinging to it. When checking, gently shake the pan. If it’s still jiggly in the middle, check again in 5 minutes.
