Amish Cinnamon Sugar Coffee Cake Recipe

Ingredients:

For the Cake:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour

• 2 teaspoons baking powder

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

• 1 cup granulated sugar

• 2 large eggs

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1/2 cup whole milk

• 1/2 cup sour cream (or plain yogurt)

For the Cinnamon Sugar Swirl:

• 1/2 cup granulated sugar

• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

For the Topping:

• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

• 1/4 cup granulated sugar

• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven:

   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×9-inch square baking pan or a similar-sized pan.

2. Prepare the cinnamon sugar swirl:

   • In a small bowl, mix together the 1/2 cup of sugar and 1 tablespoon of cinnamon. Set aside.

3. Make the cake batter:

   • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

   • In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter and sugar until creamy and light, about 2-3 minutes.

   • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

   • Alternate adding the dry ingredients and the wet ingredients (milk and sour cream) to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.

4. Assemble the coffee cake:

   • Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.

   • Sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture over the batter.

   • Add the remaining cake batter on top, spreading it evenly. Then, sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture over the top.

5. Make the topping:

   • In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, flour, sugar, and cinnamon together until combined and crumbly.

   • Sprinkle the topping evenly over the batter.

6. Bake the coffee cake:

   • Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. The top should be golden and slightly firm to the touch.

7. Cool and serve:

   • Allow the coffee cake to cool for about 10-15 minutes in the pan before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
