Cinnamon Streusel Coffee Cake

Yield: 16 servings

Ingredients

Cake

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• ½ tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 ½ cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup buttermilk or The Farmer’s Cow whole milk (get our homemade buttermilk recipe here)
• 1 cup melted butter
• 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 3 large The Farmer’s Cow eggs

Streusel

• 1 cup packed light brown sugar
• 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 3 tsp ground cinnamon
• ½ cup cold butter, cubed
• 1 cup roughly chopped pecans or walnuts

Glaze (optional)

• ½ cup powdered sugar
• 2 tbsp The Farmer’s Cow heavy cream, plus additional as needed

Instructions

• Preheat the over to 350 degrees F. Spray a tube pan with baking spray or grease it with butter and flour. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Then, mix together with a whisk.
• In a separate bowl whisk together the buttermilk (or whole milk), butter, vanilla and eggs.
• Add wet to dry ingredients. Mix until fully moistened and lumps are dissolved.
• In a medium size bowl, mix dry streusel ingredients together. Cut in butter using a pastry knife or rub with your hands until it resembles peas. Add chopped pecans or walnuts. Mix well.
• Spoon half of the cake batter into the pan. Sprinkle ½ streusel over batter, then top with the remaining batter and finish it with the remaining streusel mixture.
• Bake until cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 55 minutes.
• Cool in the pan on a baking rack for 30 minutes. Remove from the pan and cool completely.
• Mix the glaze ingredients together. Once the cake has cooled, drizzle glaze over the cake, and let drop down the sides. Let set for 5 minutes before serving.
