Streusel-Filled Coffee Cake

I have always loved a good coffee cake so a Streusel-Filled Coffee Cake sounded too good to pass up!

I’ve had this recipe dog eared in that Penzeys Spice catalog that I found when we were in Boulder, CO.  All the recipes I have tried from them have been fantastic!!

AND so I expect great things from the Streusel-Filled Coffee Cake recipe and from the smell of it, as it cools on the counter… we are in for a delicious treat!!

Weekend brunch at our house! (Yes, everyone was trying to hide from the camera!)

My mom use to occasionally make a coffee cake growing up and I was very glad every time she did : )

I hope you all have a fun Saturday and maybe enjoy Streusel-Filled Coffee Cake this weekend!!

Ingredients
  • Cake Batter:
  • 1½ C flour
  • 3 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¾ C sugar
  • ¼ C butter
  • 1 egg
  • ½ C milk
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Streusel Filling:
  • ½ C brown sugar
  • 2 tsp flour
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 Tbsp melted butter
  • ½ C chopped pecans (optional)

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Cut in the butter until the mixture is like fine cornmeal. In a small bowl beat egg, milk, and vanilla. Blend into the dry ingredients and stir just until incorporated.
  2. For the filling: In a medium bowl mix the sugar, flour, and cinnamon together. Drizzle in the butter. Add nuts. Mix well.
  3. Spoon half the mixture into a cooking sprayed and floured 8 inch square baking dish. Sprinkle with half of the filling. Spoon on the remaining batter over streusel, gently spread. Top with remaining filling. Bake 375 degrees for 25-30 minutes. Until light touch springs back in the center. Enjoy!
