Description

A moist, tender coffee cake bursting with sweet apple flavor and topped with a buttery, crunchy streusel. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or an afternoon treat with coffee or tea.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Cake:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder

  • ½ tsp baking soda

  • ½ tsp salt

  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened

  • 1 cup granulated sugar

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • ½ cup sour cream

  • ¼ cup milk

  • 2 cups peeled and chopped apples (Granny Smith or your choice)

For the Streusel Topping:

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour

  • ½ cup brown sugar

  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon

  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed


Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking pan.

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

  • In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Mix in vanilla.

  • Alternately add flour mixture and sour cream (and milk) to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Mix until just combined. Fold in chopped apples.

  • Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly.

  • For the streusel, combine flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle evenly over cake batter.

  • Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

 

  • Allow cake to cool in pan for 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Use tart apples like Granny Smith for a balanced sweet-tart flavor.

  • Cake can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to a week.

  • Optional: Serve warm with a drizzle of caramel sauce or a dusting of powdered sugar.
