Recipe Notes

Coffee Cake is from the cookbook  Magnolia Table, Volume 2 by Joanna Gaines.

This coffee cake is served at Magnolia Press in Waco, Texas.

Instructions

  • To make the streusel: In a medium bowl, combine the sugar, flour and cinnamon. Cut in the butter with a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Refrigerate until ready to use.

  • To make the cake: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 9" x 9" baking pan lightly with cooking spray.

  • In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

  • In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Scrape the sides down. Add the egg, milk and vanilla and mix on low speed until the ingredients start coming together. With the machine running, add the flour mixture, mixing until fully incorporated.

  • Spread the batter in the prepared baking pan and sprinkle the streusel over the batter.

  • Bake until a tester inserted in the centre comes out clean, 30-35 minutes. Serve warm.

  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.

  • Transfer the pans to the oven and bake until the knots are golden brown on the top, 12-15 minutes.
