Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 cup milk
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup brown sugar (for streusel topping)
• 0.25 cup all-purpose flour (for streusel topping)
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for streusel topping)
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter (cold, diced)
• 0.5 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, mix the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 3

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 4

Pour the batter into a greased 9x9-inch baking dish. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.

Step 5

Make the streusel topping by combining the brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and cold diced butter in a small bowl. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to create a crumbly texture. Stir in the chopped nuts, if using. Store the topping in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to bake.

Step 6

In the morning, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 7

Remove the batter from the refrigerator and sprinkle the prepared streusel topping evenly over the top.

Step 8

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

Step 9

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