Ingredients
Cake
- 12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, light or dark, firmly packed
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon strong flavor, such as butter-rum, vanilla-butternut, etc.; or 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
- 1 cup sour cream or yogurt (low-fat is fine)
Streusel Topping
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, light or dark, firmly packed
- 3/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup chips (chocolate, butterscotch, cinnamon, or cappuccino), optional
Directions
1) To make the cake: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter, sugars, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and flavor, mixing until smooth.
2) Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add
the flour alternately with the sour cream or yogurt, stirring to
combine.
3) Spoon the batter into a lightly greased 9 x 13-inch pan.
4) To make the topping: Combine the brown sugar, nuts, cinnamon, and chips (if you're using them), stirring to combine.
5) Sprinkle the topping over the batter in the pan.
6) Cover the pan with plastic wrap, and refrigerate it overnight.
7) Next morning, take the cake out of the refrigerator, and preheat the oven to 350°F. Bake the cake for 40 to 45 minutes, until it's golden brown on top. Remove it from the oven, and cool briefly before serving.

02/08/2012- This recipe is so easy and the best part is being able to put together the night before and bake the following morning. I took mine to work while warm and it was a hit! Great flavor! I will make again and recommend this recipe to others.

- I made this Christmas morning and it was a huge hit! I excluded the nuts but added cinnamon chips. This is a moist flavorful cake that is even wonderful heated up in the microwave later! I used vanilla yogurt for a touch of added flavor. I highly recommend this recipe. It's easy to make and delicious.
12/25/2010- I made this with a few changes as well as additions and it is delicious! 1.i wanted a non-dairy recipe and so substituted Toffutti for the sour cream and unsalted margarine for the butter. 2. Where cinnamon is called for, I also added ground cardomon in the same amount. 3. I added 1/3 cup of raisins to the batter. 4. I used splenda instead of white sugar. 4. To the streusel topping I added 1/3 cup of raisins, 3/4 cup of chopped pecans and 1/4 cup of toffee bits along with 3/4 teas. cardomon and lightly sprayed a nondairy vegetable oil over the streusel topping. Thank you for this recipe...I prepared it the night before, baked it in the morning and it was perfect. The recipe allows a variety of choices. Next time, I'll try chocolate goodies along with some white whole wheat flour. Lenore R

- As tired as I was Christmas eve, I made this coffee cake. In the morning while this was baking, I was stuffing my turkey. What a treat to finish the turkey and eat this yummy coffee cake. It will be a new annual treat. Thanks for the recipe.

- This is a good recipe, but the streusel part of the recipe seems to to be missing ingredients. The chips won't really compensate for the needed butter & flour in a good streusel topping. I followed the cake part of the recipe, but used my own tried and true streusel topping of butter, flour, toasted nuts & brown sugar instead. It was lovely!

- Delicious - and instead of sugar - we use granulated xylitol, a natural alternative to sugar made from birch trees.

- I have made this recipe for a few years. I don't put the topping on until the next morning and then before putting it on, I sprinkle a heaping cup of blueberries (I have used both fresh and frozen) on top of the batter then add the topping. I bake the same as the recipe. This makes a very moist, gooey cake and I always get requests for the recipe.

- I thought it would be nice to make something like this for Easter breakfast. Problem... Dh is diabetic and prefers things w/out sugar. Dd loves sugar. I made this, substituting splenda granular for the sugar and splenda granular plus 1 tablespoon of s/f maple syrup for every 1/4 cup brown sugar. After I mixed it up, the doubts began. There was really no reason I could see that this would work. But, it did work. It worked wonderfully. The next morning, I gave dh a peice. "Too sweet" he said. Dd said "I don't like nuts." dh said I made it for dd. Dd said I made it for dad. After church, we had unexpected company. Dh suggested I pull out any left overs. I did, and they loved it. (and, he said he did too, just that it was sweet.) Oh, I did use Easter colored m & ms in the topping.

- Delicious!! Easy to make the night before Christmas & pop in the oven on Christmas morning. Everyone loved the coffeecake & went back for seconds. Even the non-sweet eater said it was really good. Followed the recipe as is, just added softened butter to the streusel topping.
