Cream Coffee Cake
Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease the cake pan with butter or non-stick spray and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of flour and 1 cup of sugar. Add 1/2 cup of softened butter and beat with a whisk or electric mixer until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, with visible small butter pieces.
- Press half of this crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared cake pan to form the base crust.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 eggs, 1 cup of heavy cream, and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened.
- Pour the cream and egg mixture over the crumb base in the pan, spreading evenly with a spatula.
- Combine 1 1/2 cups of flour, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 1/2 cup of cold cubed butter, and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon in a bowl. Use a pastry cutter or fingers to blend until the mixture forms coarse crumbs and resembles streusel topping.
- Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the cream layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cake is set. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature, showcasing the layered, moist interior with the crunchy streusel topping.
