Equipment
Ingredients
Filling:
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup all purpose flour
- 1 Tbsp cinnamon
- 3 Tbsp melted salted butter
Crumb Topping:
- ¾ cup all purpose flour
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 Tbsp cinnamon
- pinch of salt
- 5 Tbsp melted salted butter
Batter:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup milk
- ¼ cup avocado oil or vegetable oil
- ¼ cup salted butter melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup sourdough starter discard
- 2 ¼ cups all purpose flour 11.25 ounces
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
Instructions
- Spray a 9x13" pan with cooking spray. Preheat your oven to 350°.
- For filling, combine the brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and melted butter in a small bowl. Mix together with a fork until crumbly. Set aside.
- For the topping, combine the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and melted butter in a small bowl. Mix together with your fingers until crumbly. Set aside.
- For batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, milk, oil, melted butter, eggs, vanilla, and discard until smooth.
- Add the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Stir gently just until there are no streaks of flour.
- Pour half of the cake batter in the prepared pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle the filling evenly over the batter.
- Drop the rest of the batter by spoonfuls over the filling, then carefully spread as evenly as possible. (It's fine if there are a few gaps.) Sprinkle the topping evenly over the top of the batter.
- Bake the coffee cake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes on a lower rack of the oven. A toothpick should come out with moist crumbs, but not wet batter.
Notes
-Leftover coffee cake can be stored at room temperature for up to a week. Either cover it tightly with plastic wrap or transfer to an airtight container. It also freezes well.
