Soft lightly spiced coffee cake is filled with a gooey cinnamon swirl center and topped with a sweet streusel topping + vanilla glaze!
As I’m writing this, tonight is just one of those nights. Ellio’s pizza and pizza rolls are whats for dinner. #don’tjudgeme! Sometimes time slips away and maybe you take a nap with your four year old and before you know it, you wake up and it’s 6 o’clock at night and you have nothing planned for dinner. SO, hopefully you are having a better night than I am, ha! Now, let’s get into this cinnamon swirl coffee cake.
I am such a sucker for coffee cake. Especially when it has a gooey cinnamon swirl center. My. FAVE. You all know how much I love my cinnamon rolls, right? Well, coffee cake is just another “breakfast” obsession of mine. I put breakfast in quotations because is it reallllly breakfast? I mean, it’s just cake without frosting – plus the crumb topping and glaze. Kind of like muffins are pretty much cupcakes nix the frosting. But coffee cake is just soooo good with a cup of coffee. Right? So, breakfast it is.
Fun fact: For most of my life I thought coffee cake included coffee in the batter. A few years ago when I made my first coffee cake recipe, I was so confused saying to myself, “where’s the coffee in this recipe???” Don’t be like me. They give the cake it’s name because it is supposed to be enjoyed with coffee. You’re welcome!
This cinnamon swirl coffee cake would be amazing for a brunch! (Easter??)
Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and arrange rack to the center of the oven. Line a 9x9 pan with parchment paper and set aside. Do NOT use an 8x8 pan.
In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt together very well.
In a separate bowl, beat, butter, vegetable oil, and both sugars until smooth. Add sour cream, eggs and vanilla and mix until combined. Add flour gradually and mix until smooth. Pour in milk and beat again until just incorporated as you do not want to over-mix the batter.
For the filling, whisk brown sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl. Pour half of the batter into prepared pan and top with filling mixture in an even layer. Spread the remaining batter on top of the filling. Set aside while you make the topping.
For the topping, toss both sugars, flour, cinnamon and salt together in a large bowl. Stir in melted butter until crumbly. It will still be wet but you will be able to break it up into smaller pieces. If for some reason it won't crumble, add another tablespoon of flour to the mixture. Crumble the topping over the batter in the pan into an even layer. Bake for 35-40 minutes OR until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
While cake is cooling, prepare glaze. In a small bowl, combine confectioner's sugar, vanilla and milk until smooth. Add more or less milk for your desired thickness - I like mine on the thicker side so it doesn't melt into the cake. Drizzle onto cooled cake.

Helloooooo super amazing coffee cake! That cinnamon swirl has me sold!
I’m glad I’m not the only one who’s spaced dinner a time or two. As my 4 yr old says “It happens”, lol! I definitely wouldn’t space breakfast knowing this beauty was waiting for me. It looks so delicious!
Oh my, what a gorgeous coffee cake!! I LOVE it!!
I need to bake this wknd. This cake looks like a great contender. I love coffee cakes.
Would love to start my day with this.
This looks so wonderful
Oh my gosh! I really will be dreaming about this!
can i use buttermilk instead of sour cream?
I have not tried, so I do not know for sure. If you swap them out let me know!
Tried this tonight. Amazing. Do you think it could be baked a frozen for later use?
Yay! Yes! Just thaw overnight in the refrigerator the night before you want to serve it.
I tasted the batter before putting it in the oven. It tasted of the baking soda, really off flavor and I followed the recipe and put 2 teaspoons of B. soda in it. Anyone else have an issue with this?
I meant to say I put 2 t baking powder and 1/2 t baking soda

I am now 35 years old but last month I had started to see so many wrinkles on my head and it really got me that I hadn¡¯t really taken care of my face. The wrinkles had started when I was much younger but they had only started as minor fine lines and I did not think they would go this far. I immediately started to look for anti-wrinkle skin cream and fortunately, I found Lifecell and I started using it immediately. Two weeks into using the cream and the wrinkles are fading really quick. I believe that at the end of the fourth week there will be no wrinkle left.
