Streusel Coffee Cake

IMG_2108

Hello 2010!

Happy New Year to Everyone!

Do you have any family traditions? We have some… but this year we’ve taken it to a whole other level.

Having this cutie pie in our life is what really brought it home for us!

Here she is taking a tub at Grandma & Grandpa’s. Isn’t she cute…

For New Year’s Day my hubby and I thought of two breakfast foods we would love to have in the morning.

My choice was homemade coffee cake. His was homemade biscuits.

So low and behold, New Year’s morning, we had fresh coffee cake and biscuits. (Biscuit recipe to come later in the week)

I was in heaven having a slice of this cake with a fresh cup of coffee. It was delicious!

Streusel Coffee Cake

Cake:

  • 2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter at room temperature
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla

Streusel Topping:

  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup walnuts
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/2 stick melted butter

Make streusel topping by mixing all ingredients together in a small bowl. Set aside.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a round 9×2 inch deep cake pan with non-stick cooking spray. In a separate bowl mix flour, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon… set aside.

Cream butter and sugar on medium to high speed until light and fluffy. Add the egg, then mix sour cream and vanilla. Slowly add the flour mixture and mix until just combined.

Spread half the batter in the pan and sprinkle with half the streusel topping. Spread the remaining batter on top and scatter remaining streusel topping on top. Bake coffee cake for about 50 minutes or until a tooth pick inserted in center of cake comes out clean. Cool on rack for about 15 minutes.

Enjoy!!!

    your baby is so adorable!!!

    My new years traditions are nothing much more than PJ’s and comfort food on NYE- but that’s the BEST way for me 🙂 and the Rose Bowl and lounging on New Years Day.

    This looks like a great recipe! I have yet to have a whole wheat coffee cake, but that’s also because I have yet to home-make one. I’ll have to try this. Adorable kid!

    Yum, this looks fantastic! Thanks for the recipe.

    I remember taking baths in my parent’s kitchen sink when I was young. It’s one of those things I’ll never forget. Fond memories 🙂 She is adorable!!

    Your baby is sooo cute! I love all that hair!

    Your coffee cake looks amazing. I would choose that as a breakfast of choice too. We don’t have any New Years Day traditions, except to take down all the Christmas decorations.

    Oh my she is super cute! Happy new year to you! Having my baby definitely made me more into traditions, we did some for Xmas, but nothing special for new years.
