Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 1 cup Buttermilk
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cup Walnuts or pecans (optional, chopped)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter will be slightly lumpy.

Step 4

In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and ground cinnamon for the streusel topping. If you’re using nuts, fold them into the streusel mix.

Step 5

Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or a non-stick spray. Pour half the batter into the prepared dish and spread evenly.

Step 6

Sprinkle half of the streusel mixture on top of the batter in the dish.

Step 7

Pour the remaining batter over the streusel layer and spread gently to cover. Sprinkle the rest of the streusel evenly on top.

Step 8

Cover the baking dish tightly with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate overnight.

Step 9

In the morning, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Remove the coffee cake from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature while the oven preheats.

Step 10

Bake the coffee cake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 11

Let the coffee cake cool for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy it warm with a cup of coffee or tea!
