Equipment

Ingredients

Crumb Topping

  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • ⅔ cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 5 tbsp butter (room temperature)

Coffee Cake

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 8 tbsp butter (room temperature)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • ½ cup dulce de leche

Instructions

Step One - Make the Crumb

  • Using a whisk, combine the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a small bowl. Using your fingers, add the butter and mix thoroughly with your fingers. It is ok to have small clumps. Set aside
    ¾ cup all-purpose flour, ⅔ cup packed light brown sugar, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, 1 pinch salt, 5 tbsp butter (room temperature)

Step Two- Make the Batter

  • Prep: Preheat the oven to 350.
  • Mix Dry Ingreidents: In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
    2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp baking powder, ½ tsp baking soda, ½ tsp salt
  • Mix Wet Ingreidents: In a large bowl using either a hand or standing mixer, beat together the butter and granulated sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy. About 3 minutes. Add the eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition.  Add in the vanilla. 
    8 tbsp butter (room temperature), 1 cup sugar, 2 large eggs, 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Reduce to low speed and alternate adding the flour mixture and sour cream to the wet ingreidents. (Recommended sequence: Flour, sour cream, flour, sour cream, flour)
    Mix just enough to incorporate, using caution not to over mix. The cake batter will be very thick. This is your goal.
    1 cup sour cream

Step Three - Assembly and Baking

  • Using the butter wrapper, grease a square cake pan or a loaf pan. Spoon half of the cake batter and using a spatula, smooth the top . Sprinkle half of the crumb topping over the batter. Then drizzle half the dulce de leche over the top of the crumb.  Spoon the remaining cake batter on top and smooth the top. Sprinkle on the remaining crumb topping. Drizzle the dulce de leche over the top.
    ½ cup dulce de leche
  • Bake at 350 for one hour. The cake and topping should be golden brown. If your using a tooth pick, once inserted into the center of the cake the toothpick should come out clean. Let cool in the pan for 20 minutes and then transfer to a rack to cool.
