Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (sifted)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup milk (whole or 2%)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (sifted)
  • 2 tbsp milk (add more for thinner consistency)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Begin by whisking together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
  2. Incorporate the milk, eggs, and melted butter into the dry ingredients.
  3. Mix until everything comes together in a smooth batter.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly across the surface.
  5. Combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon in a separate bowl.
  6. Mix until smooth, creating a luscious filling.
  7. Spoon the cinnamon mixture over the batter and use a knife to create gentle swirls.
  8. Bake your creation in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes.
  9. Test doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
  10. Cool the cake in the pan for about 10 minutes.
  11. Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth to prepare the glaze.
  12. Drizzle the glaze over the warm coffee cake.
