Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 Cup Granulated sugar
  • 1/4 Cup Vegetable Oil or Avocado oil Butter can be subbed but the cake will turn out on the dry side.
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Almond Extract
  • 1/2 Cup Milk
  • 1 Large Egg
  • 1 1/2 Cups All purpose flour
  • 2 Teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 1/4 Teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 Teaspoon Cinnamon
Streusel Topping
  • 1 Tablespoon Salted butter Chilled
  • 2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon All purpose flour
  • 1 Teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1 Pinch Salt
  • 1/2 Cup Roughly Chopped Pecans Optional but adds delicious flavor and texture!
Vanilla glaze
  • 2-3 Teaspoons Milk
  • 2/3 Cup Powdered sugar
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla extract

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375℉
    2. Mix together oil and sugar. Add egg, milk and almond flavor. Mix in remaining dry ingredients.
    3. Spread batter into a 7x11 or 9x9" pan prepared with cooking spray.
    4. Mix together streusel topping including the nuts so they get covered in the buttery sugar mix. They will be candied during baking and so delicious! Sprinkle over top the batter. Use a. butter knife to make some swirls in the batter so the streusel topping sinks a bit into the center.
    5. Bake at 375° about 23-25 minutes (should toothpick test clean, but be sure not to over-bake or it could become dry). Mine is always done right about 23 minutes.
    6. Allow the cake to cool for 10 minutes.
    7. Whisk together ingredients for vanilla glaze. Drizzle on baked cinnamon streusel coffee cake.
    Enjoy!
