Description

This coffee cake is wonderful for both breakfast and dessert. It’s perfect for sharing with friends … if you have any left!

Ingredients

  • ¾ cups Granulated Sugar
  • 6 Tablespoons Butter, Softened
  • 1 whole Egg
  • ¾ teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • 1-½ cup Flour
  • ¾ teaspoons Baking Powder
  • ¾ teaspoons Baking Soda
  • ¼ teaspoons Kosher Salt
  • 1 cup Sour Cream
  • ⅓ cups Brown Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • _____
  • FOR THE GLAZE:
  • ⅓ cups Pure Maple Syrup
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9×5″ loaf pan. Cream the sugar and butter together in a medium bowl, and then beat in the egg and vanilla.

Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Beat into the butter mixture alternately with the sour cream just until combined.

Whisk together the brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Spread a fourth of the batter into the loaf pan and sprinkle with 1/4 of the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Repeat the layers 3 more times.

Bake 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. While the cake is cooling in the pan, make the glaze. Stir the maple syrup into the powdered sugar gradually until the glaze is thick and smooth. (You can add additional maple syrup if the glaze is too thick.)

Remove the cake from the pan and let cool on a rack. Drizzle with the glaze while still warm, and then again once cooled completely.

Hi, I baked this again last night for the first time in a 9×5 pan. It is a lovely brown color, smells great, but it sunk in the middle during cooling. I can’t recall if this happened to me before or not when using 8×4 pans. I’m wondering if it could be due to too much baking soda in recipe? I’m thinking it caused an over expansion and then shrinking after it started to cool. Let me know if you’ve tried this recipe with say 1 tsp baking powder and 1/4 tsp baking soda, and if it came out well. I just really want a beautiful rounded top to it like in your photo! Thanks!

Oh my gosh, these are amazing. At my husband’s request, I have made this recipe as a loaf, mini-loaves, and muffins. They turned out best when I did mini-loaves. I took them to a bake sale, where they sold out to rave reviews. Make these NOW!

OMG! This is the best coffee cake I have ever tasted. This tender, buttery, cinammon cake is so delicious. Only to be glazed with the most wonderful maple glaze I’ve ever had. A must bake!

I made this with whole wheat flour and I thought it came out delicious! At first I didn’t want to do all the layers of batter/topping, but it really made the bread excellent to have so many layers. The cinnamon & sugar was integrated nicely into the taste of the bread. I agree with a previous reviewer that there was more glaze than I needed. I’ll definitely make this again.

This had a nice moist texture but was too sweet for my taste. Would probably cut both the glaze and the cinnamon sugar in half.

This is fantastic! The cake was super moist and a perfect mix of vanilla cake and cinnamon layering. My two notes would be:
1)There was way too much glaze, maybe half the recipe?
2)The layering was difficult for me, a beginning baker. I had a rough time (or so i thought) spreading the sticky batter over the cinnamon mixture. I ended up using my hands and it ended up being just fine. Lovely layers.
