Ingredients

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 quarter cups granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.75 cups unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup sour cream
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup fruit preserves or pie filling (any flavor)
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Reserve 1 cup of the crumb mixture for the topping and set it aside.

Step 5

In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, sour cream, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 6

Add the wet ingredients to the remaining crumb mixture in the large bowl. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix. The batter will be thick.

Step 7

Spread half of the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.

Step 8

Carefully spread the fruit preserves or pie filling over the batter, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 9

Drop spoonfuls of the remaining batter over the fruit layer, then gently spread it out to mostly cover the filling.

Step 10

Sprinkle the reserved crumb mixture evenly over the top of the batter.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the cake (away from the fruit layer) comes out clean.

Step 12

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 13

Optional: Dust the top of the coffee cake with powdered sugar for added sweetness and decoration.
