Kuchen Coffee Cake
Ingredients:
– 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 3/4 cup sugar
– 2 eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/2 cup sour cream
– 1 cup fresh blueberries or your choice of fruit (optional)
– 1/4 cup sliced almonds (optional)
– Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan. You can also line the pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a separate mixing bowl, cream the softened butter with the sugar until light and fluffy, using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the sour cream. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
6. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries or your choice of fruit, if using. This adds a burst of sweetness and a pop of color to the cake.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the sliced almonds on top for extra crunch and texture.
8. Bake the coffee cake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
9. Once baked, let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Dust the Kuchen Coffee Cake with powdered sugar for a beautiful finishing touch. Cut into slices and serve with a steaming cup of coffee or tea for a cozy and indulgent treat.
