For a great coffee cake, try this simple and delicious Jewish Coffee Cake recipe. It’s my belief that everyone needs a favorite coffee cake recipe they can return to time and time again. After all, we’re a nation of coffee drinkers and cake and coffee are a match made in heaven!
This Streusel coffee cake recipe has a ribbon of delicious streusel running through the middle. Streusel is a crumbly mix of sugar, nuts and cinnamon, sometimes made with butter although I’ve left that out here. The cinnamon gives the cake a wonderful fragrance while the sweet nut mixture makes for a lovely surprise when you bite down into the cake. Altogether it’s light, moist and truly delicious!
To make Jewish Coffee Cake, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a square tin and then dust with flour.
Sift the flour, baking powder, and baking soda together into a bowl.
In a separate bowl, beat the butter, sugar, and eggs together until smooth.
Add the flour mixture, a little at a time, folding in until you have a smooth batter.
Add the sour cream and vanilla and mix together.
Add the nuts, cinnamon and powdered sugar to a small bowl and mix.
Pour half the batter into the prepared tin and spread evenly across the bottom. Sprinkle half the nut mixture across the top, then pour over the remaining batter. Sprinkle the rest of the nuts over the batter, and then drizzle the melted butter evenly on top.
Bake for 1 hour. When ready, the cake should spring back when touched gently in the center.
