½cupconfectioner’s sugar
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°.
CRUMBS: In a small bowl, mix the flour, sugar, and cinnamon. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium high heat, melt the butter. Remove from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Add the CRUMBS dry ingredients mixture to the melted butter and vanilla extract pan.
With a heavy spoon stir just until moistened. Set aside.
CAKE: In a large bowl of an electric mixer, cream the butter on medium speed.
Add the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar, mixing it well.
Add the milk and beat just until smooth.
Add the eggs and beat for one more minute.
Pour the batter into an ungreased 13x9x2” pan.
Bake for 15 minutes.
Remove the pan from the oven and gently sprinkle the crumbs on top of the cake batter.
Bake for 10-15 minutes more or until a cake tester inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Remove the cake pan to a wire rack and let it cool completely.
DUSTING: Use a sieve to dust the top of the crumbs with confectioner’s sugar after the cake has completely cooled.
Store the cake covered on top of the counter.
EXTRA TIP:
You can add jam in this coffee cake if you want. After 15 minutes of baking time, just spread warmed jam on top of the cake. I use about a cup of jam only over half the cake since I know people who like it and some who don't.
