How To Make A Starbucks-Style Cinnamon Coffeecake
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a 10-inch baking pan by coating with cooking spray or butter and then dusting very lightly with flour (tap out excess flour).
In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cinnamon, baking powder and baking soda.
In a large bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Add the sugar, sour cream, softened butter and vanilla. Beat until well combined - about 1 minute using an electric beater on medium. Gradually add the flour mixture and stir it in gently with a firm spatula. Avoid over-mixing when combining the wet and dry ingredients.
For the filling: In a medium bowl, beat the butter until light and fluffy. Add the brown sugar, cinnamon and cocoa powder and continue beating until fairly smooth and well combined.
Spoon 1/2 of the cake batter into the prepared pan and spread it to an even layer with a spatula. Sprinkle the filling mixture over the layer of batter. Cover that with the remaining cake batter.
Make the topping by placing all topping ingredients in a food process and pulsing until very crumbly (similar to the texture of bread crumbs). If mixing by hand, use a pastry cutter or the back of a fork.
Sprinkle topping mixture evenly over the ingredients in the pan.
Bake for 1 hour at 350 degrees or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out dry (ie. no uncooked batter sticking to the toothpick).
Allow coffeecake to cool at least 15 minutes before serving.
Cooking Notes:
For the cake batter, plain or vanilla yogurt can be used in place of the sour cream. Omit the vanilla if using vanilla yogurt. You can also replace the sour cream with 1 and 1/4 cup milk but the resulting cake will be a bit more dense.
Optional Vanilla Glaze: Mix together 1 cup powdered sugar, 2 Tablespoons milk and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. Stir until texture is smooth like a frosting. Add additional milk by the teaspoon until glaze is just liquid enough to drizzle. Drizzle over COOLED coffeecake if desired.
You can also use this recipe to make mini-coffeecakes in muffin tins or a mini-brownie mold. It makes 14. (I know... I wish it made an even dozen.) Watch the baking time. The mini-coffeecakes you see in the pictures took about 40 minutes to bake.
It's very important that you don't overfill baking pans or muffin tins when making this recipe. Fill them no more 3/4 full. The coffeecake rises a significant amount.
Similar to Starbucks' Classic Coffee Cake with a sweet cinnamon filling and a brown sugar and cinnamon crumble topping.
