Ingredients

• 115 grams unsalted butter, melted
• 200 grams granulated sugar
• 50 grams light brown sugar, packed
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 240 milliliters buttermilk
• 300 grams all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 120 grams powdered sugar (for glaze)
• 30 milliliters whole milk (for glaze)
• 0.5 teaspoons pure vanilla extract (for glaze)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan or springform pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Whisk until smooth and well combined.

Step 3

Add the eggs one at a time, whisking after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and buttermilk, mixing until smooth.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix to avoid a dense cake.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

While the cake is cooling, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 10

Once the cake is completely cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top, letting it cascade down the sides for a doughnut-like effect.

Step 11

Slice and serve. Enjoy your Buttermilk Doughnut Coffeecake with a cup of coffee or tea!
