Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking pan. Set aside.

  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and espresso powder. Set aside.

  3. In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the sour cream and vanilla extract until well combined.

  4. Gradually fold in the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be thick and smooth.

  5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.

  6. In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon for the streusel topping. Pour in the melted butter and stir until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  7. Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the cake batter.

  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  9. Once baked, remove the coffee cake from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing and serving.
