Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).

Add in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract and sour cream until combined.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly with a spatula or the back of a spoon.

Step 7

To make the crumb topping, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and flour in a separate bowl. Stir until crumbly.

Step 8

Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the cake batter in the dish.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Let the coffee cake cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing.

Step 11

For the optional glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Drizzle over the cooled coffee cake if desired.
