Step-by-Step Instructions for Streusel Coffee Cake Recipe
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x13 inch baking pan by greasing it with butter and dusting it lightly with flour.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer for about 3-5 minutes until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture into the wet ingredients, alternating with sour cream.
  5. In a medium bowl, mix together flour, packed brown sugar, cold unsalted butter, and ground cinnamon to prepare the streusel.
  6. Pour half of the batter into the greased pan, sprinkle with streusel, and layer the remaining batter and streusel on top.
  7. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  8. Cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before serving.
