Brown Sugar Coffee Cake
(10 servings) Printable Version
- 4 all-purpose cups flour
- 2 cups brown sugar - packed
- 2 cups milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 Tablespoons butter
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
-
1/2 teaspoon salt

How To Make A Brown Sugar Coffee Cake
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a medium bowl, make the topping by combining all ingredients until it forms a crumbly, coarse-sandy texture.
In a large bowl, mix together all the cake ingredients. Place dough in one well-greased long oblong pan or two smaller ones.
Brush the top of each pan of dough with melted butter. Sprinkle the crumb topping over each loaf.
Bake for about 30 minutes* or until it passes the toothpick test.
Optional Maple Glaze:
- 3 Tablespoons butter
- 1 and 1/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 teaspoon maple extract
- 2 Tablespoon milk (or water)
Melt butter in small sauce pan. Remove from heat and stir in remaining ingredients until fluid glaze forms. Drizzle over warm coffee cake.
Cooking Note From Mr Breakfast:
As people have said in the comments, the cooking time is longer than the recipe submitter indicates. My cooking times were 40 minutes for a 7 x 4 1/2 pan and 50 minutes for an 8 x 8 pan.
When this is served warm, it's served with love. This coffee cake is great because most of the ingredients are things we always have on hand.
Mr Breakfast would like to thank susan for this recipe.

Great coffee cake. I increased the cinnamon in the topping to 2 Tablespoons. My cooking time was 35 minutes.

I took my reading glasses off and followed the recipe exactly and it turned out GREAT! I think the elevation has something to do with it.

Not great! As others have said, not enough baking time, I had to add 10 min. Rather bland and the topping was too floury, I would not bother with it again!

Turned out okay for us. I read all comments so I reduced the flour by nearly 1/2 a cup. I also added a teaspoon of vanilla and teaspoon of cinnamon to the batter. Also did 2 less tablespoons flour in the topping.

I followed the recipe exactly, and it turned out a bit flour-y tasting... If were to use this recipe again, I would maybe use less flour (especially in the topping) and put cinnamon in the actual batter. Otherwise, it turned out nice and moist (I had to use 2 pans: 1 8x8 and 1 9x13).

I agree, something is wrong with the recipe - The cook time is off, and the taste is a little bland.

This must be wrong, I baked it for more than an hour and its soupy still... I'm lost. I am an excellent baker and something is off with this recipe.

I've been looking for a good brown sugar coffee cake recipe ever since I've tasted awesome coffee cake at coffee shop some time ago. Of course, that cake was too sweet and too fatty, so I wanted to try out lower calorie recipe. This recipe was OK, I love the crust on top a lot too, but you need to put more milk (a cup more) to the batter as it'll be almost like a cookie dough. It is warm, very moist and light. Yum!
