Ingredients

  • 2 & 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 & 1/2 cups light brown sugar packed
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 2/3 cup butter
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • 1 & 1/3 cups buttermilk or sour milk {Sour milk can be by placing 4 tsp. lemon juice in a 2-cup measuring cup and adding enough milk to make 1 & 1/3 cups total. Let sit for 5 minutes before using.}
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 tsp. vanilla
  • 1 & 1/2 Tbsp. milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F if using a nonstick pan or 325°F if using a glass dish.
  2. Grease a bundt cake or 9×13 inch pan and set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, and salt.
  4. Use a pastry blender to cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. {Or, if you’re like me and don’t have a pastry blender – stick it all in your stand mixer with the whisk attachment and whisk away.} Set aside 1/2 cup of the crumb mixture.
  5. Stir baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg into the remaining crumb mixture.
  6. In a medium bowl combine eggs and buttermilk.
  7. Add egg mixture all at once to cinnamon mixture, stirring just until moistened.
  8. Spoon batter evenly into prepared pan or dish.
  9. If using a 9×13 inch pan, sprinkle the reserved 1/2 cup crumb mixture over the batter.
  10. Bake for 32-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
  11. If you used a bundt cake pan, sprinkle the reserved 1/2 cup crumb mixture over warm cake.
  12. In a small bowl, combine powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk until smooth.
  13. Spoon evenly over your coffee cake.
  14. Serve warm with fruit and/or scrambled eggs.
