A light and fluffy coffee cake infused with rich maple flavor, topped with a crunchy cinnamon streusel and drizzled with maple glaze.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (99 grams) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (60 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 stick (56 grams) unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
  • 1 stick (113 grams) unsalted butter (softened)
  • 2/3 cup (132 grams) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon maple extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cup (180 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup (57 grams) powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon maple extract
  • 1 tablespoon heavy cream or milk

Instructions

  1. For Cinnamon Streusel: In a bowl, mix together 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup flour, and ground cinnamon. Cut in the cold cubed butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.
  2. For Coffee Cake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9 inch pan. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and 2/3 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the maple extract and eggs one at a time.
  3. In another bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with buttermilk.
  4. Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon streusel on top. Add the remaining batter and top with the rest of the streusel.
  5. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let it cool.
  6. For Maple Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk the powdered sugar, 1/2 teaspoon maple extract, and heavy cream (or milk) until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake.

Notes

Make sure your butter is at the right temperature – cold for the streusel and softened for the cake batter. Don’t skip the glaze! It really elevates the flavor. Let the cake cool completely before slicing for neat pieces.
