Inspired by all those folks who clock-in on the regular, we created a coffee cake that’s got layers of streusel and is fit to be shared with the whole break room. Bake it up for your next office get-together in our classic cast iron and pour yourself a cup of coffee.

Ingredients

Cake
  • 2¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1¼ cup sugar
  • 1¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¾ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 1¼ cup sour cream
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
Streusel Topping
  • 1¼ cup brown sugar, packed
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2¼ teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1¼ cup chopped pecans
Icing
  • ½ cup confectioner’s sugar
  • 2 tablespoons whole milk

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350° F.
  2. Prepare the cake batter. In a large mixing bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat sour cream, softened butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet, mixing until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  3. Make the streusel topping. In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, flour, melted butter, cinnamon, and chopped nuts.
  4. Coat a 12 inch cast iron skillet with a nonstick baking spray like Baker’s Joy. Pour half of the cake batter into the skillet, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle ⅔ of the streusel topping over the batter, then add the remaining batter and top with the last of the streusel.
  5. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool.
  6. Mix confectioner’s sugar and milk until dissolved. Drizzle over cooled cake, cut and serve.
