EASY CINNAMON CRUMB COFFEE CAKE
This classic coffee cake recipe is from Jacqueline at Go Go Go Gourmet, a food blog dedicated to busy moms who enjoy baking, cooking, and entertaining.
The coffee cake is buttery, light, fluffy, and features a sweet ribbon of melty cinnamon through the center.
It’s everything a good breakfast cake should be. And it’s piled high with a thick cinnamon streusel topping that offers a lovely texture contrast.
It’s similar to my cinnamon sour cream coffee cake except this one is butter based. It’s so buttery tender, it practically melts in your mouth!
Perfect for enjoying alongside a cup of hot coffee. Truly the best crumb cake recipe.
Sweet carbs are actually one of the things I really enjoy for breakfast. If you are like me, you may also want to try these whole wheat banana muffins and peanut butter and banana coffee cake!

AN OLD-FASHIONED CRUMB CAKE RECIPE
Every baker should have this easy crumb cake recipe on hand. The batter is thick and ultra rich.
It yields a super soft crumb which is perfect for a cake that you are going to eat for breakfast. Butter and an egg leave the cake fluffy and tender with tight crumbs throughout.
The butter is creamed with the sugar which provides the moist, cakey texture that is so well loved about this coffee cake.
There’s a ribbon of sweet cinnamon through the center of the cake and thick crunchy cinnamon streusel over the top. Both the filling and topping are made with brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and softened butter.

Work the softened butter into the dry ingredients with your fingertips or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. It’s important to use softened butter in this recipe.
Softened butter is easier to work into the dry ingredients, making sure each granule of sugar, flour, and cinnamon are coated with buttery goodness.
INGREDIENTS
For the cake
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup milk, room temperature
