How to Make Coffee Cake
One of our FAVORITE things to make for a breakfast or brunch get-together is coffee cake! It’s quick, buttery, and so cinnamon-y that everyone loves it.
We first had this recipe when we were younger, but it was so good, we knew it had to become a go-to and it has. It’s simple, it’s delicious, and it’s perfect for any occasion (even Khloe Kardashian agrees!)
We love to serve it with other breakfast casseroles and bakes like our: Sausage Breakfast Casserole, Breakfast Potato Casserole and Cinnamon Roll Cake.

Notes
Recipe Tips.
- While this cake is often served alongside coffee or tea, hence its name, I like to serve it with other favorite warm drinks like hot chocolate & apple cider.
- To more easily spread the thick batter over the cinnamon sugar layer, first drop dollops evenly across the surface, then gently spread each dollop using a silicone spatula.
- For an easy variation, fold about 1½ cups of blueberries or chopped apples into the batter. Depending on your oven, you may need to increase the baking time by 5-10 minutes.
- If you want to double or triple the recipe, we recommend baking each batch in its own 9×13 pan.

Recipe FAQ
Why is it Called Coffee Cake?
- Using a spoon or spatula to mix the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients can help with the density. If you’re really worried, add an extra egg or a little bit more milk to thin it out and make it easier to pour.
What are the best variations?
- Fruit. Fold blueberries, diced peaches, or chopped apples into the batter. Note the liquid from the fruit may cause the cake to have a more moist texture and need to be baked longer.
- Chips + nuts. Fold some mini chocolate chips or cinnamon chips into the batter. Add sliced almonds, chopped pecans, or walnuts to the top of the cake to give it a delightful crunch.
- Drizzle a glaze over the top. Make a glaze by mixing ½ cup confectioners sugar with 1 tablespoon milk. Mix until smooth and drizzle over the cooled cake.
How to Store Coffee Cake?
- Store this easy coffee cake recipe in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
How to Freeze?
- Wrap leftovers tightly with plastic wrap and store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw on the counter.

This was a big hit! It had the perfect ratio of cinnamon sugar to cake- will definitely make again 🙂
Yay!! Happy you think so! Thanks so much!
I followed the recipe, not sure what everyone liked so much about it… it didnt taste that nice and the cinammon topping just tasted like sugar.
Yum, love a good coffee cake. Thanks for the recipe!!
Me too!! Happy to share! Thank you!
This recipe is simple and very delicious. I added a dollop of sour cream to the mix and ended up pouring melted butter in my pan before adding the batter as well as the butter on top. Dangerous!
Yum!! Great additions! Thanks for sharing what you did!
Super easy to make and seriously tastes great!! I love sweet things
Absolutely delicious! Wouldn’t change a thing about the recipe. Only issue was that it took 15 minutes longer in my oven.
Delicious!
The why is it called coffee cake question has the wrong answer attached fyi
Am I missing the part where you add coffee to coffee cake lol ??
There is never any coffee in the cake. Lol
This is my husband’s favorite coffee cake! It’s moist, delicious, tender, and just plain yummy! The only change I made was that I mixed the melted butter (1/3 cup) with the brown sugar/cinnamon mixture and sprinkled it on. Super easy.
I missed the part of the recipe where I needed to put half of the sugar mixture between a layer of batter. I put all of it on top! Will this affect the texture? Will it weigh the cake down? Thanks!
Delicious, moist. Works well with almond milk
Easy, delicious and versatile.
Can I replace butter with margarine and milk with a milk alternative, if I want it to be dairy free? Thanks for your help!
This was a great recipe. I will definitely use it again
I would love to add frozen blueberries to this. How much would I add?
Hands down both the best and easiest coffee cake ever!
Thanks❤️
I absolutely love your recipe and want to make it while at altitude as a breakfast for skiing. Do you have any recommendations on what to adjust to make sure it turns out right?
The texture and taste contrasts you’ve described sound wonderful. Here’s a polished version of your review:
“This recipe is an absolute winner! The top offers a delightful crunch that gives way to an incredibly moist interior with the perfect chewy texture. I especially appreciate that it’s not overly sweet. I opted to add the sugar drizzle, which enhanced the overall experience – highly recommend this addition. It pairs beautifully with coffee, making it an ideal treat for any time of day.”
Little while back, I starting making this recipe with my kid’s.. with the excitement of it all, it was made kinda differently lol. Since then, I have made it step by step as directed. Much better outcome.! Lol 🤣. Anyway, it has become a frequent recipe in the home, and highly recommended for any occasion.! I have also saved it for a quicker and easier access with the app 😉
Kristyn, I loooove this recipe!!!everytime I make it is so easy and so delish! Question for you, I want to make it for gifts in very small individual loaf pans. How should I adjust the baking time?
You could definitely try in individual pans. I’d say start with a lower bake time… maybe 10-15 minutes? It may need more time than that. It depends on the size of your pan. Then just periodically check the middle with a toothpick until it looks done.
Has anyone used a substitute instead of vegetable oil. Like melted butter or coconut oil?
Today was the 1st time baking your recipe. My 4 toddlers and I got so into putting it together, that I accidentally overlooked an instruction or 2 pertaining to putting some the ingredients where they were supposed to be, and ended up mixing everything together at once in the batter before putting in oven.! Lol. But it all came out just ad delicious.!! 😉😊
That’s great to know it still turned out well even all mixed together! 🙂 Thanks for giving the recipe a try!
Delicious! I needed a large coffee cake with almost no notice, so I googled “9×13 coffee cake from scratch”. What a great recipe! All the ingredients are ones that I usually have on hand. I used a cup of pureed pears (from a can of pears) instead of the oil and the cake was tender and moist. Thank you. This is a keeper.
Can this be baked in a Bundt pan? Same time and temperature?
I just made this coffee cake and added fine chopped pecans and a glaze after it came out of the oven: Powdered Sugar, Milk, Vanilla and pumpkin spice Amazing…to say the least!!!
How much of each ingredients did you use Powdered Sugar, Milk, Vanilla and pumpkin spice? Thank you.
I am always in search of THE recipe for everything. Brownies, chocolate chip cookies, carrot cake……well THIS one is my coffee cake recipe. I need not search further. It was moist and full of flavor. PERFECTION!! Thank you for sharing!
So delicious, thank you!!
The only coffee cake my family will let me make! So good!
Thank you for this recipe! I just made this recipe last week and it is delicious. Came out perfectly and everyone loved it. My husband and I were practically fighting over the last piece. Decided to make it again this week to share with some more friends.
This is my fav coffee cake, I’ve been making it for years, it’s the only one I’ll ever make cause it’s a family favourite!!
I love this recipe! It always comes out perfect! Everyone loves it! I’ve even brought it to neighborhood events and it’s always a hit! Thank you!! I’m about to make it this morning and am considering trying some of the variations for fun!
Forgot the rating in my first post!

You are my inspiration , I possess few web logs and sometimes run out from to brand.
Easy recipe but turned out very doughy unfortunately. Would not recommend or try again.
I love making this and my family loves it also. But I have one question, I’m out of brown sugar what substitute can I use for it?
I made this to bring to a friend’s house. Everyone loved it. Making it again tomorrow for the grandkids( which they requested). Yum.
How can you tell if it is done? I baked for 40 min and inside was still raw.
The top should be a nice golden brown. But you can insert a cake tester or a toothpick in the middle and if it comes out clean with just a few crumbs, then you know it is cooked through.
I think the cinnamon is supposed to be a TEASPOON not a tablespoon?
How is it COFFEE cake when theres NO COFFEE? Call it Cinnamon sugar cake!
Coffee cake is a cake made to eat for breakfast with coffee it doesn’t have coffee in it.
It tasted so bad and flour-ie
Flavor is yummy but texture was off. Not sure what I did wrong. It didn’t rise much. Was oretty flat and not fluffy. Had to sub some apple sauce (1/2 c) for butter. My baking pwder may have been old. We liked the flavor but husband said he prefers crumbly topping. Ours was buttery hardened with the butter. Will try again. Any tips welcomed.
This recipe is tried and true in my house! We love it.
This is a very delicious coffee cake and simple to make! Will add to my favorites! I did not change one thing! Thank you!
This is a favorite recipe. I love a great coffeecake and this is a great one to make!
This is my go to for every holiday breakfast. The buttery flavor mixed with cinnamon is the best. I use to buy a special “coffee cake” for the holidays but no more since I tried this rich buttery cinnamon recipe!!! So quick and easy to make.
My kids live this coffee cake. I like to make it as jumbo muffins for a grab and go breakfast.
I just made your coffee cake and it is delicious! Several who happened to be here enjoyed it also!
I’m trying to find how to rate it so I can be entered in your giveaway but can’t find where to rate it!
Thanks for all the great recipes! Your family looks so happy and fun!
God bless you!
CORRECTION: Although we love your scone recipe, my previous comment was supposed to be for this Coffee Cake. I also vary this recipe by adding a little fruit & nuts.
Very good and very easy!
This recipe is a must in my house. They are so easy to make and you can add different fruit & nuts to make different variations. They are all SO good!
We don’t have to worry about leftovers, there never is any!
We LOVE these scones!
Easy delicious moist cake. I made it with almond milk. Will make it again for sure!
Easy delicious and parve
Amazing! Followed it pretty well, just swapped a little buttermilk for milk .
The cake part had an off putting flavor. Maybe too much vanilla. My sister thought the same. Anyone else? Suggestions? It was very easy to make…
Very easy, very delicious!
This recipe was very hard to follow. When the directions said to add all the dry ingredients, I also added the brown sugar as well as the white sugar. I unfortunately used up the last of most the ingredients needed to make this so I had to dump everything in the trash.
Very easy for a 14 who can back at a high level
I wouldn’t have thrown it all in the garbage. I’m sure you could have baked it with the brown sugar and cinnamon in the batter and not layered.
Made for Easter brunch. Everyone enjoyed it.
Only difference is I added some frozen blueberries
I saw that this recipe could be multiplied by 3 for a large crowd but the time for baking is the same and so is the size of pan in all three size choices. Please tell me what size of pan and cooking time for the 2x or 3x recipes. Please email me. Thanks!
I’m guessing you should use 2 or 3 9×13 pans for increased recipe.
Love this recipe. It is my go to for family brunch.
Such an amazing recipe! So easy to make and the best, most flavourful and delicious cake ever!!
This coffee cake is delicious and very simple to make. I was a little skeptical about mixing the sugar into the dry ingredients, but the recipe resulted in a tender, moist, and fluffy crumb. Unlike a traditional coffee cake, it does not have a crumb filling and topping, but a filling and topping sort of like a cinnamon roll filling. In my opinion, it had just the right amount of the cinnamon sugar. While I had to substitute some of the oil with melted butter , it was extremely simple to make, only requiring eight ingredient in the batter that are simply whisked together – no having to bring ingredient to room temperature and no creaming process.
fantastic, easy-peasy recipe, which i followed to a T (except i only needed to use 1 cup of the brown sugar/cinnamon mix). i also happen to be an expert baker and am constantly in search of oil-based cakes and desserts, which IMHO are the unsung heroes of the baking universe. thanks for sharing this awesome recipe; it’s a keeper!
Quick, delicious, made with ingredients I’ll always have on hand. Thanks so much for posting this!
I wouldnt call this coffee cake. It was flat, heavy, and didnt look anything like the photos… Not sure what everyone else was doing that I missed, but I am a baker so this wasnt my first rodeo with flour. Just a heads up, beware this recipe doesnt yield anything worth wasting all of these ingredients on!
Sorry to hear you didn’t have a good experience with the recipe. Thanks for your feedback and for giving it a try!
ive been using this recipe for years. made dozens of them. it turns out just like the photos every single time. as you mentioned, you missed something, as the recipe is just fine.
Mediocre recipe. Too sweet, brown sugar was gritty. Website is impossible to look at it with popups and video ads.
Thanks for the feeback and for giving the recipe a try.
you do realize you can use less sugar, right? as for brown sugar being ” gritty” yeah, totally the recipe and not the sugar itself… lol
Super easy & incredibly delicious! So quick to make, with regular ingredients. Budget friendly too! I highly recommend & will definitely make again.
So glad to hear you enjoyed the cake!! Thanks for giving the recipe a try!
This was much easier than most coffee cake recipes. It actually tasted better too. I usually only trust recipes from big sites like NYT. So glad I took a chance on this one–what a great recipe! Thank you.
You’re welcome!! I’m so glad to hear you enjoyed the cake!
I made it! It’s very good. The flavors come together about 1-2 days after baking, they really balance out. Great make ahead dish for an event.
Yes, this is a cake that tastes delicious a day or two after as well!
I made this last night and I have to say it came out delicious but very very oily. I’ve checked and rechecked the recipe and I believe I followed it to the letter. Ultimately I’m not sold on such an oil saturated cake. Tasty and smelled divine though.
Thanks for the feedback and for giving the recipe a try!
Easy easy easy and delicious printed to make many more times in the future.
Yes!! So glad to hear that! Thanks for giving it a try.
I followed this recipe to a T but instead of pouring the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients I sifted the flour mixture into the wet ingredients so that there was no large lumps of flour and it came out perfect. I would make this again for my co-workers.
Thanks for sharing what you did! I’m glad you enjoyed the cake!
Hi Barbara, most flours in America are pre-sifted and don’t need to be sifted again. I haven’t sifted anything except maybe cocoa in about the last 40 years of baking, and I’ve never seen large clumps of flour.
I used a 9 x 12.5 pan, but use a 9 x 9 or 8 x 8. I didn’t have enough batter to fill a 9 x 13.
This recipe was quick and easy to make. I just took it out of the oven and it smells wonderful! I can’t wait to taste it.
Hope you enjoy!
Can the flour be replaced with other flours like oat flour?
I haven’t tried this recipe with oat flour so I’m not sure how the final result would be, but you could give it a try! I do know that oat flour is a bit lighter than all purpose, so you may need to use a bit more than the recipe calls for. Online it says 1 1/4 cup of oat flour to 1 cup of all purpose. You’ll have to let us know if you use oat flour and how the cake turns out if you do.
I have made this with general gluten free flour and it came out very nicely
Could I use butter instead of oil?
Yes! Melted butter would work in place of the oil.
I love this coffee cake recipe !! I can not bake for nothing but…This came out GREAT!! I shocked myself and family hahaha, Thank you!!
You’re welcome! So glad the cake turned out and you enjoyed!
Tried this recipe today and the taste was there, it was a beautiful coffee cake. But my cake was a little dryer than expected. Any suggestions?
If you like coffee cake to taste and be the consistency of regular cake, except have the crumble topping on top, this is the cake for you.
Okay, not great.
Tastes fairly generic and overly sweet with little other flavour. It was super quick to come together but I won’t be using this recipe again.
Thanks for the feedback and for giving the recipe a try!
Hi, I’m planning on making this for my sister in laws birthday because she loves cinnamon. Would it be okay if I use cake flour in place of all purpose? How would that change the overall cake?
Thank you!
Yes, you should be able to swap flours. The cake should be similar just with a slight difference in texture after baking. It will pretty much the same as all purpose — but the final result will be slightly different.
Love the recipe and have been making it for some time now. Reminds me of my grandmother’s coffee cake! My comment has to do with the webpage. I’m not sure what has changed since I used it last but it’s almost impossible to read the recipe due to all the pop ups and the page refreshing. Hope it isn’t permanent.
Amazing! Loved this so much
Can I make the night before and bake the morning of?
Delicious recipe, btw!!! Have made several time!!
This turned out delicious! Thank you.
it was really dry and layers separated
I thought this sounded great from all the reviews but I found the cake to be very bland and the topping to be gritty from the brown sugar.
This recipe is absolutely delicious!!! Looking forward to trying more of your recipes. Thank you!!
Made this for my high school students and got their rave reviews. We love it so much I’ve made it repeatedly. Thank you!!
Making this for the first time- I used a 9×9 pan- not sure how this would make 9×12 pan. But easy and delish!
looks like an awesome recipe, can’t wait to try this
Hope you enjoy!
Kristyn, if I triple this recipe for a large group, what size pan would you suggest I use? (I Own a 12 x 8 x 4)
So a single batch of the cake fills a 9×13 pan. I’d honestly suggest just using three 9×13 pans. Even if you get some disposable pans to use for the large group. You could also try doing a double batch in a half sheet pan, but that will give you thin layers which might be tricky.
How long should I bake in a loaf pan?
How long should you bake the coffee cake in a loaf pan?
I haven’t made this in a loaf pan, so I’m not completely sure. But I’d say maybe half the baking time and then test from there. You’ll know the cake is done when a toothpick comes out mostly clean (just a few crumbs). Hope you enjoy!!
I cut the recipe in have and baked in a loaf pan, and it still took between 35-40 minutes to bake. No need to adjust time.

Hi Kristyn, thanks for sharing the coffee cake recipe.I would like to try it out but I don’t see any coffee powder
or coffee essence is added in the recipe? So how do I get the coffee aroma? Please share the coffee aroma as I’m a coffee lover. Thank you.
Hey Betty, coffee cake doesn’t actually have coffee in it, it’s called coffee cake because it’s cake you eat with coffee or tea. Nonetheless I’m sure you could just sprinkle coffee grounds into the streusel layers before baking and it would be what you’re wanting.
Made this cake the night before our Thanksgiving breakfast at work – was a hit and left the office with a clean pan! Easy to make and everyone enjoyed it. Had to sub in 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour as I ran out of AP flour, but still worked out well.
Yum! Made this for the nurses’ unit at work… delish. Softer and lighter than I expected for a coffee cake but great flavor.
I made the cake batter less sweet. For the filling I used 1/4 cup panella sugar and 1 cup brown sugar and added 1/2 tsp of ground cardamom to the cinnamon for a hint of a more complex flavor, then topped with unsweetened butter. Such a great recipe!
This was delicious and very easy. I did add a powdered sugar drizzle on top
I really love this recipe!!!! I have made it several times and my family absolutely loves it!!
I love this recipe, we make it all the time!
I made this cake for a family thing this weekend. It was absolutely delicious, especially with a cup of unsweetened coffee. Oh, that cinamonny crunch! I confess that I read the instructions wrong. Oops. I mixed the butter in with the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture and crumbled it between the layers of batter. I felt silly when I got to the part that said to drizzle butter over the top. Well, it still turned out wonderfully and was a big hit! Thank you!
Absolutely delicious. I’ve never made coffee cake before, not even sure I’ve ever eaten it but I have a 4 month old and needed a great big cup of coffee this morning and wanted a little something sweet to go with it, so coffee cake came to mind. This was one of the first recipes that came up and had a nearly perfect 5 star rating so I figured this would be the one to try. This recipe was so quick and easy to make and the baking time was just long enough to give little one a bath and get ready for the day. I followed the recipe exactly and it baked for 37 minutes. 100% would recommend.
Too much separation between the cake and sugar. I didn’t enjoy this recipe
The best coffee cake I’ve ever had! It was so delicious and the top layer was so crunchy! Will be making this again. My family finished it in a day. I made an error and mixed the butter with the cinnamon and sugar, but surprisingly it made the inside very moist and the top layer extra crunchy. Just took 15 minutes extra to bake though, so overall about 55 minutes.
This did not work out for us. Did not bake well at all. After one hour in the oven I gave up. I followed everything perfectly.
I’ve made this a few times, absolutely amazing. Question, would adding finely chopped pecans to the cinnamon sugar mixture affect the baking time at all?
I’ve made this so many times. I told my teenaged brother that I’m making it tomorrow and he just about flipped his lid. He even wanted it instead of a traditional birthday cake. I commend you for a recipe well-done, it is well-received everytime I make it.
Delicious! A total crowd-pleaser!
Very easy and delicious as advertised!!! My first attempt came out more like crumble cake so I wasn’t able to cut into cake portions but it is still soooo delicious scooped into a bowl to serve. I will try to bake a little longer next time but it was so moist and tasty!! A keeper. Thanks!!!
You’re welcome!! So glad you enjoyed the recipe!
Made it for a house full of hungry people, they devoured it. Next time I will try substituting sour cream for half the milk. Or half applesauce for oil.
I love this coffee cake!!! I make it all the time. I’m wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how to make it pumpkin?
I am so glad you do!! This is one I have not tried to make into a pumpkin recipe! I will have to figure that out, but it would be so good!
Wow! Just wow! I woke up craving coffee cake and googled easy coffee cake recipe. This was one of the first ones to appear. Looked simple enough and I had the ingredients. Let me tell you what…this is hands down the most delicious and moist (I know people hate that word) coffee cake I have ever had. I didn’t have a 9×13 pan so I used an 8×10 ish pan and it still worked beautifully. I don’t normally leave comments online, but wanted to share this wonderful recipe. You will not be disappointed!
Oh thank you!! Thank you for the comment and giving the recipe a try! I’m so glad you enjoyed the cake.
The finished product of the coffee cake tasted amazing, but it took twice as long to bake it than the recipe said.
Kristyn, I have made this cake probably 50 times over the years. It’s a family favorite. My 12 yr asked me to make it for her bday brunch. Thank you for sharing
Oh you’re welcome! I’m so glad to hear that this cake recipe has been so used and so loved by your family!
can i use a dairy free milk alternative? i only have oat and almond
You could definitely give it a try! You’ll have to let us know what you end up using and how it turns out.
Love this!!
I’ve made this a million times. So good. No mods needed! Always a crowd pleaser.
Do you have a fruit option?
Is it really a tablespoon of vanilla?
Yes!
This is such a delicious and moist cake. My favorite … and my family loves it. I find that it’s better on the second day than the first. In my oven, it needs less time. About 25 minutes or it gets dry.
Absolutely delicious! The texture and flavor was perfect! Making a second batch today. Only thing I’m doing different is mixing the butter and sugars for the topping together rather than separately.
A new family favorite! We threw some chocolate chips on top. My kids love this coffee cake!
Found this recipe after my husband asked me to bake something to warm up the house. Had all the ingredients. Recipe was easy and fun to make. Coffee cake was done in 35 minutes in my bundle pan and was very delicious! Thank you for this recipe! ❤
* Bundt pan* Mine was done in 35 minutes. > didn’t open the oven until then..
I was just wondering how long you would bake this in a bundt pan. Thanks so much.
I literally just baked mine in a bundt pan! It took 38 mins. Toothpick came out clean! Taste and looks delicious. I actually just cut it and eating it as I type this cause I came to comment about the outcome. I put just a little butter in the bottom so it won’t stick.
Sounds like some readers who have tried in a bundt pan said about 35 mintues. So that might be a good place to start!
Made this and it is delicious. I baked mi e for 30 minutes and it’s still moist. Had a piece when it was still warm with my coffee. Yummy
Definitely will make this again.
I loved this recipe!! Just wondering if this would freeze well? How long would it keep for in there?
Yes! It freezes great. Wrap tightly with plastic wrap and store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months.
This recipe is amazing. It is my go to dessert for the week. Totally recommend! I started to bake the cake for only 30 minutes instead of 35, because it seems to make it stay moist longer.
Thanks for sharing what you do. So glad to hear you love the coffee cake!
I haven’t tried it out yet, but I really want to. I am wondering, is it okay to add the melted butter to the cinnamon and brown sugar mix to make it a sort of thicker glaze?
You could try it!
Absolutely loved this recipe! I was kicking myself because I forgot to add the vanilla, but it still turned out fantastic. Will definitely be making again- next time with the vanilla lol. It was so easy to make, and my family loved it.
Glad to hear it still turned out even without the vanilla! Thanks for giving the recipe a try!
Made this for my friends to enjoy at a weekend gathering. They loved it – many requests for the recipe. Was delicious and so easy to make. Thank you for the recipe!
You’re welcome! I’m so happy to hear the cake was enjoyed by everyone!
I have made this recipe many times including cubed apples in the batter. I just love it! I recently made it again for my card group and they all went crazy for it. They all asked for the recipe which I gave them. I’m going to try the lemon lasagna for the next meeting. I’ll let you know how it goes over. Thank you for your delicious recipes!
The worst! I followed every instruction and it was not fluffy at all.
I always read reviews prior to trying any recipe for the first time. Sadly your page is so congested with ads it has deterred me from trying.
Yes, the ads enable us to be able to always provide free content and recipes. Thanks for understanding!
Am I missing something? Coffee cake?? Where’s the coffee in this recipe?
Very good coffee cake.
So the cake is called coffee cake not because there is coffee as an ingredient, but because it pairs so well with coffee. People often enjoy a slice for breakfast with their morning coffee or as a pick me up. That’s where it gets its name from.
I didn’t realize you responded to this. You can delete my reply if you want. And by the way the coffee cake is delicious!!!!
Thank you!! So glad you enjoyed it!
Coffee cake doesn’t have coffee in it. People usually drink it with coffee so that’s why its called that.
There isn’t coffee in it; it’s called that because it’s meant to accompany coffee, like a breakfast cake.
It’s something often served with coffee. She explains that above.
I’ve made a few different recipes of coffee cake in the past. This is the easiest and the best. We all love it.
That makes me so happy to hear the cake is a hit! Thank for sharing!
Loved that it was so easy to put together-and absolutely delicious! It would be easy to add some chopped nuts to the topping. A few minutes to put together, in the oven, served with coffee this morning!
Can one freeze this coffee cake?
Yes! Just wrap tightly with plastic wrap and store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months.
I’ve always had a good coffee cake in my pocket, but they were never awesome. This is now my family’s most beloved sweet. So fast, so easy, clearly written instructions. You must try it!
Thanks Luna
You’re welcome! That makes me so happy to hear that the cake is loved by your family!
Best coffee cake ever!!!!
I love your recipes 💕
haven’t made it yet.
Can you use a milk substitute like oat milk?
Yes you absolutely can. I used an almond/cashew blend due to a dairy allergy and they turned out great. I will say that because it was a thicker milk, I did have to add a tad more oil and milk. Delicious!
Thanks for the feedback. I haven’t tried this recipe with alternative milks, so that’s great to hear that it still turns out great!
My favorite coffee cake recipe from now on! I used coconut oil, added chopped pecans to the topping, and added 1 cup of fresh blueberries. Absolutely delicious!
I have made this several times. The best results for me is when baked in s Bundt pan. A favourite for all of us. Will continue to make as well. Yum
Charlline, that’s very interesting. I just might try this in a Bundt pan next time because I know I’ll be making it again many more times.
Minus the cinnamon sugar layers this makes a great base for muffins. Blueberry muffins were the best I’ve ever made
Question – Could this recipe be used as muffins instead of a 9×13?
We actually have a delicious recipe for Coffee Cake Muffins, if you want to give it a try! https://lilluna.com/coffee-cake-cupcakes/
So easy and good!
The recipe was a little dry. Any suggestions?
Perhaps it got baked a little too long? You could play around with the baking time a bit.
Add 3/4 cup of sour cream.
I had it more than a week, and it was still so soft!!! wonderful recipe <<33
Rich and delicious. I had to sub coconut oil because I was out of vegetable oil, and it came out fine, no coconut flavor (for those who don’t like that, like my daughter). Highly recommend!
Can you substitute butter for the vegetable oil?
Yes! I don’t use vegetable oil, ever. Just melt 2 sticks of butter and that’s your cup!
Turned out great, big hit with the coworkers 😊
Spot on for the Krusteaz mix! We’ll never waste money on the premix again! THANK YOU !!
The recipe is great but your page is so congested with ads!
Made this for church fellowship last month and they asked me to sign up again and bring this! Lol! It was definitely a crowd favorite. I find myself on this page a lot for delicious recipes.
The whole family loved it!
Wow this is such an easy and delicious recipe and it’s simple and easy for beginners and kids to experience and taste thank you for sharing this recipe with the world
You’re welcome!!
I’m sure if there weren’t so many pop up ads I would enjoy the recipe.😏
I made this coffee cake and it was absolutely delicious great recipe 😋
Thank you!! So glad you enjoyed!
This was my first coffee cake to make and it turned out great. Thank you for this recipe!
Amazing 👏🏻 my husband and family loved it!
Made this delicious cake yesterday…..easy to make and had all the ingredients in kitchen…plus I add walnuts on top …..thanks for sharing your recipe….
You’re welcome! I bet the walnuts on top were delicious!
It tastes fantastic! It’s so easy to make and you’re most likely to have all of the ingredients already in your cabinet. I would totally recommend it for a quick cake!
Hi Lil Luna team, if I make this coffee cake but use coconut oil in lieu of vegetable oil, should I melt the coconut oil first so that it’s not in solid state? Thanks 🙂
Yes, make sure to melt it first.
Love this recipe! Super simple and delicious. Everyone in my family loves it! 10/10 highly recommend. It’s perfect!
I’m so confused. It has to be the milk. Is it really 1-1/4 cup?! Mine was soup, didn’t turn out at all. I read and reread the direction 10x!!!
It is 1 1/4 cup of milk in the recipe. Maybe try leaving it in the oven for a bit longer. Every oven cooks a little different. Temperature/altitude/weather can affect baking times as well.
So soooo good!
It felt much too sweet. I think there’s too much brown sugar or maybe it would be better mixed into a crumb topping.
Thanks for the feedback and for giving the recipe a try!
Would you please post the ingredients for the crumb topping version?
This Coffee Cake recipe has more of a crumb topping than our original Coffee Cake recipe does. You might enjoy! https://lilluna.com/bisquick-coffee-cake/ Or here is our version of our Crumb Cake: https://lilluna.com/new-york-style-crumb-cake/
Very easy to make , simple ingredients, I have different recipes but this one is definitely best! Thank you for this recipe
You’re welcome!! I’m so glad you love the coffee cake!
This is a perfect coffee cake! My husband was craving a coffee cake so I chose this recipe. It came out amazing!
Super easy recipe. I followed it to a T, baked for 38-40 minutes.
Thank you so much for the recipe!
Hooray! I’m so glad that the cake was a hit! Thanks for giving the recipe a try!
I had a recipe for coffee cake, but it was nothing great so I decided to go online to find some other options.
This is a much tastier coffee cake!
I would make some edits on the directions though.
Made this on a whim for my first time making coffee cake and this recipe is easy! Ingredients that mostly everyone has on hand and a huge hit! Heard a lot of good feedback from my grandparents that it reminded them of their grandparents!
Oh I love that! Thanks for giving the recipe a try!
I’ve made this a handful of times and it’s so good, so easy!
I’ve made this several times. I followed directions exactly. Best coffee cake ever!
It says coffee cake but there’s no mention of coffee in the recipe
You’re right! There is no coffee in coffee cake. It is named that because it is often served with coffee for a dessert or breakfast or even just a snack.
Just finished making and eating a slice of this delicious coffee cake. My husband and stepson also enjoyed it. Will definitely be making it again.
Yay! So glad to hear the cake was a success! Thanks for giving it a try.
Very good and easy to make! Ingredients are found in most kitchens already!
So delicious! I had a hard time layering it, so I ended up just kind of swirling it together 😂 It turned out great!
Unfortunately, these were not my favorite. The quantity of vegetable oil gives it a chemical oily taste and the dough was more biscuity than cake.
Thanks for the honest feedback and for giving the recipe a try!
Cinnamon topping was flavourful! But the batter was very dense and thick. Had to add some extra milk to be able to spread it properly for first layer.
I do believe the batter itself could use a little extra something for added flavour. Tasted too much like plain vanilla cake with cinnamon sugar topping. But still tasted good!
Thanks for the feedback and for giving the recipe a try!
I’ve made this recipe tons of time since I found it. It’s easy, there’s not a lot of steps, and it tastes absolutely delicious!
I’m going to give this a 5 star for now. Since I messed up the filling. For some reason I thought I read brown sugar and butter (melted) as the filling and the topping. Let’s see how it turns out!
I should’ve known when I saw 1 cup of oil and no butter in the recipe that it wasn’t going to be buttery. My bad. Won’t be making this again.
There is a drizzle of butter on the top, but yes, this recipe has no butter in the batter. Thanks for giving the recipe a try!
My husband loved it! We got the recipe from a friend who had made it when we had joined for a Sunday brunch. He liked it so much I had to try it once I got home.
I used different baking dishes so it took a bit more time, and ended up with a higher cake, but it’s yummy through and through. Lots of cinnamon just like my husband likes it and the crust was nice and crunchy!
Pretty good cake, wont cook.
It claimed to cook this coffee cake for 35-40 minutes, mine has been in the oven three hours and is still not done. The cake tastes interesting, and the top is good but wont harden. I hope this was helpful.
Thanks for the feedback and for giving the recipe a try!
I AM GOING TO TRY YOUR RECIPE AND TRY TO ALTER IT TO MY CAKE. I CAN’T FIND MY RECIPE FOR “COFFEE COFFEE CAKE.” IT HAD 3 PARTS. THE CAKE, THE CRUMBLE AND THE SWIRL. I THINK EACH HAD COFFEE IN IT. YOU WOULD MAKE EACH AND THE SWIRL WAS DRUG THROUGH THE BATTER. IT WAS SOOO GOOD. I’LL TRY YOURS AND SEE IF I CAN’T REMEMBER EVERYTHING, BUT IT MAY WORK. I’LL LET YOU KNOW.
Hope you enjoy the recipe!
very easy to make, and i was surprised how little ingredients and how easy it was! all coffee cake batter is hard to spread, so I wasn’t surprised when it was like that. I was a little worried that the crumble top and filling wouldn’t be enough, but it was! so delicious and easy!
highly recommend
Easy to make and great taste . Live in CO and it only needed maybe 30min and I reduced the sugar about 1/3 for each type and still was sweet enough. Will make again .
Delightful
Can you make this in a bundt pan?
Yes, you should be able to!
Easy & delicious! I like all the butter, I also like to make the brown sugar molasses & white sugar.
Try it & enjoy.
This coffee cake got rave reviews at our church coffee time this morning.
This turned out really good. I made a mistake by putting more than half of the batter in the cake dish for the first layer, and I was afraid that would hurt it, but it didn’t. I followed the rest of the directions exactly as listed.
Best cake I’ve made it several times it’s always wonderful!!
Hello I made this. Coffee cake last week it was delicious so today I made it again oh it was hard for us to wait but we did we served ourselves a health piece each and mine was great but my husband’s first bite was tangy so he took any other and again tangy I had some of his what was this? Why I checked all ingredients yes all the same. Do you know what it could be do I have something bad?
I’m not sure why it would have tasted tangy. Maybe some of the measurements got off slightly? I’m not sure! I haven’t had that happen before with this recipe.
Make sure you are using an aluminum free baking powder. The tang he is tasting maybe a metal taste some people are sensitive to it. Rumford is alum free.
Took this easy coffee cake to a ministerial meeting and it was a hit! Thank you for sharing!
You’re welcome! So glad it was enjoyed by all!
Made this recipe EXACTLY as it was written and it was unbelievably delicious (and so easy). I didn’t get the batter divided in half very well but the cinnamon and sugar distributed perfectly anyway. This will be my “go to” recipe from here on out! Thank you!!!
You’re welcome!! I’m so glad you enjoyed the coffee cake and that it turned out well!
My cake had good flavor, but was very dense. Batter is hard to spread, so spoon it into the pan and then spread.
Could this be made in a Bundt pan? If so, would there be any differences in the recipe and or bake time?
You could give it a try in a bundt pan! Make sure you don’t overfill the pan. And yes, you may need to adjust the bake time. I’d check for doneness when the recipe bake time says it should be done and then add more time as needed. You’ll have to let us know how it turns out!
Cut the recipe in half. Pour batter in to pan. Mix together melted butter, cinnamon and sugar, then poured over batter. Using a chopstick, I swirled butter into better for marble effect. It was so easy to make. Cake very moist with sugar mix. Baked 40 minutes perfect butter/sugar crust around edges and marble was awesome. I will make this again
Thanks for sharing what you did! I’m glad you enjoyed the recipe!
Good basic recipe. Need to seriously cut down on the sugar though. I cut the sugar amounts in half, and it was still too sweet. Will need to play around with adjustments before I can enjoy it.
I actually added some brewed coffee in this recipe it was good
Great option!! Thank you!
I made this for my father’s 61st birthday, and it was a total hit! So moist and delicious. I also own a food blog at Handmedownrecipes.com with a coffee cake recipe that is super easy. This recipe is far better! Thank you, we will be making this again!
I made your coffee cake recipe yesterday and it was so good. Thanks for sharing.
I absolutely love this recipe and share it often. I use 1/2 cup of melted butter, and it works well for me. I’ve never had a problem with using a 9 x13 baking dish. It is a bit on the sweet side, but it is a coffee cake. I think that it is well balanced. It’s easy to make and tastes amazing. Thank you for sharing.
This is the perfect coffee cake! Make it!!!
I’ve made various coffee cakes for years. This one is absolutely the best. I add a 1/2 cup plumped raisins and a cup of clipped walnuts to suit my family’s taste. Yum
This coffee cake was easy to make, and absolutely delicious. My son has asked me to make one specifically for him so he could freeze it and bring it out when he wanted a treat. (I do not know whether he will have the willpower to do that) The piece that I gave him he had to physically restrain himself from eating all of it so he could share it with his girlfriend.
I’ve made this a few times now and always get rave reviews! I recently added apple slices to the in between layer and it was great. Also forgot the butter, haha…no matter, it was still great! Thank you!
Thank you for the recipe. This is very tasty. I love that I had all the ingredients in my pantry and fridge and makes enough for a 9×13 pan. Most coffee cake recipes I find only make an 8×8, which isn’t enough when it’s this delicious.
I’ve made this a bunch of times and it’s such an easy and perfect recipe. I usually add chocolate chips as well, just on top. Thank you so much for sharing!
I followed the recipe exactly BUT used an 8×8 pan as when I poured in the 9×13, there did not seem to be enough batter to have 2 layers. I had to increase the cook time by 35 minutes and it was still doughy in the middle with the topping being too crispy and not crumbly as expected. Also, we are at 3000 ft elevation, does that make a difference? End result was a VERY dense and tough cake that was not enjoyable. I also used the Kitchenaid with the flat beater to blend dry ingredients into wet and allowed to mix until smooth. What did I do wrong?!? Any tips or advice are much appreciated. Thank you!!!
I imagine the increase in bake time would be necessary if using an 8X8 pan because the layers would be quite a bit thicker than in a 9×13. Elevation, temperature… all of that can affect the bake time as well. I would probably recommend halving the recipe if you bake in an 8×8.
I made this coffee cake for my coffee social at my work for the tenants. They loved the favor and was very delicious.. the only thing I put to.much butter and it made the cake very dense but for delicious.
Also I substituted the flour for gluten free flour 1 to 1 baking.
Will be making this coffee cake
Thanks for sharing what you did! I’m so glad the cake was enjoyed. Thanks for giving the recipe a try!
Delicious! We ground the spices, super flavorful. I liked the topping in the middle also. We’ll definitely make it again soon!
This was a big hit at our church coffee hour. I made two, one with blueberries. I added a cup of blueberries to the batter after I poured the first half in. The blueberries spread nicely in the whole cake.
Ooh I bet the addition of the blueberries was delicious. Thanks for sharing what you did. I’m so glad to hear the cake was a hit!
My brother loves this coffee cake
Thank you 😊
Sound good.
I had to sub melted butter for the oil, and mistakenly mixed the last melted butter with the cinnamon and brown sugar. Didn’t matter. This was FANTASTIC, even with my sub and mistake. I suspect when I do this correctly next time, it will be a near perfect copy of the Krusteaz brand box mix crumb cake. I did halve the recipe and bake in a 9″ x 9″ glass pan. Total bake time was 35 minutes for me. Spectacular results, thank you for the recipe!
You’re welcome! Thanks for sharing what you did and I’m so glad that you enjoyed the recipe!
My family loves this recipe and can’t get enough. I am just about to make it again. Perfect step by step instructions and ingredients. Thank you!!
I had to bake this for at least an hour, it was too soupy in the middle. Followed the recipe, but needed to cover it with foil the last 20 mins or so to keep the top from burning (my house did get smoky). It tasted great though
Went looking for a coffee cake to make like my mom used to and found this with great reviews. Unfortunately I don’t recommend it. This batter is not enough for two layers in a 9X13. I recommend a smaller pan. I made extra batter to accommodate, but it’s huge and bloated. I definitely don’t think this is any good. Honestly if anyone here is looking for a real coffee cake recipe ask a local elderly woman to get a good recipe. This was a sweet attempt but a waste of ingredients.
Absolutely love itttt
Just finished baking this coffee cake. Love it!
How can this recipe be made for a diabetic?
Use Pillsbury sugar free yellow cake mix – i replace imperial margerine for oil, fat free milk, for water in cake mix; For streudal- i use swerve brown sugar, imperial margerine for drizzle i added chopped pecans to streudal. This recipe came out very well and I’m about to make again because my dogs knocked cake on floor and ate the remaining half of cake.
I made this dish on a whim and it came out amazing and the guys at my husbands job are the entire pan!
Oh no I used a cake pan! Hope it turns out! Wish me luck!!
Way too many ads….I couldn’t focus on the recipe to try it….sorry
The recipe ok Way too distracting w Ads. Ugh! And I cut it down to 2 cups of flour and cup of milk etc. made w pineapple & cinnamon. Baked at 360 for 50 mins Becuz of the pineapple juice. It came out ok. It’s a good rainy day sweet treat for my boys. I used round cake pan it came out fine. But girl it’s way too busy & distracting.
Love the recipe ♥️
Ahhh I fell victim to the missed step and only put the streusel in the middle and poured the melted butter on top of the second half of batter. It’s in the oven now and hopefully will still be good. Plz update the written instructions to specify to spread the second half of cinnamon sugar on top.
Hey, thanks for the recipe. It looks like a step is missing in the recipe itself which is to add the remaining brown sugar mix to the top of the second layer of batter. Just an FYI. Thanks again.
Easy, fast, and soooo delicious! Thanks for a fantastic recipe, I’ll be making this on a regular basis!
Easy, fast, and spoon delicious! Thanks for a fantastic recipe, I’ll be making this on a regular basis!
Huge hit on a cold rainy morning!
Excellent recipe. Reduced Oil
I was making this recipe except subbing sour cream for all but two tablespoons of sour cream years from the time I was 10. I made this for my parents early in the morning as always awake by 5:30 am.
A version is to add fresh blueberries or cut up apple and raisins.
Thank you for reminding me as it’s been decades since I made this.
This morning at 5:55 I’m adding fresh blueberries to your recipe.
You failed to mention to put a layer of streusel on top of the cake before adding the butter to the top of the cake and then baking it. It does not look like it’s supposed to and now my cake is ruined.
The streusel is step #6
Yes. Stupid mistake
To the author or anyone who has made this lovely recipe, I’d love to know if this would be sturdy enough to be cut and plated for individual servings to a group or even make in individual muffin tins?
Yes and yes! In fact, we even have a recipe for Coffee Cake Muffins if you decide you want to go that route. They are tasty!! https://lilluna.com/coffee-cake-cupcakes/
Perfect recipe! Tastes and looks great.
Why is there never amounts of the ingredients? I’ve checked several recipes and all you do is list the ingredients but not the amounts. Shame on you.
Hi Vicki! You may just need to keep scrolling down to the bottom (or click on jump to recipe). We list out all of the ingredients, measurements and instructions for each recipe on the website. They are there. 🙂
Vicky girl relax! It’s a cake recipe!
It’s quite funny to me that most of the native comments saying you forgot to mention this or that are all wrong. The commenters just don’t read. Read people. I’m a novice baker, really novice and I could follow along. Also, On all of these recipes hit the Jump to recipe button.
I am not a baker and I tried this and it was absolutely amazing! Best part is that it is made with ingredients I commonly have at home and I can control the amount of sugar and quality of ingredients. It came together so easily, and the bake time was incredibly fast.
i love coffee cake.. simple like this..i used to make the Bisquick version as a teen….
the only thing i changed here was to add a bit of flour to the streusal topping.
i didnt put inner layer of cinnamon. just trying this recipe now..it looks great.
thanks
I just made this again from my printed recipe, and it’s always delicious. I see that you changed it a bit.
I made this for my extended family as a side dish for breakfast and everybody went crazy for it. It is so delicious and better, super easy to make! I was distracted and didn’t read the directions all the way through and added the butter to the cinnamon and brown sugar instead of pouring just the butter on top, but it didn’t matter because it was so darn good! Everyone wanted the recipe afterwards. Thank you so much!!
Is there an adjustment for high altitude? My baking skills are being tested this season!
Best cake ever, so easy and delicious. I will make it again.
I had to use self rising flour, so I deleted the baking powder. To my amazement it came out fantastic! Next time I’m going to add chopped pecans. Thank you!
You’re welcome!! Thanks for sharing what you did. So glad you enjoyed the cake!
wanted to make individual 18 mini loaf pan how much would i double the recipe. how many servings to make. thanks
I am honestly not sure because I have never tried making the coffee cake in mini loaf pans. Typically, a 9×13 can fill about 2 large loaf pans, and a large loaf pan can fill about 3 minis. So going by that guideline, you’d get about 6 minis from one batch. Which would mean 3 batches could make 18. Again, I haven’t tried doing this personally, so that could be a bit off, but hopefully gives you a starting point. Let us know how it all turns out. I’d love to know!! 🙂
This is a delicious cake that has a perfect bake thanks to the accurate recipe! I added a layer of Granny Smith apples to the middle layer and it cooked perfectly after an additional few minutes in the oven. I used parchment paper to help with the ease of removal and it worked like a charm. Highly recommend this awesome bake!
I bet the apples were delicious in there! Thanks for sharing. So glad you enjoyed the coffee cake!
Coffee cake takes me back to being with my grandma. I was her favorite you know and she loved making coffee cake. She would use left over coffee for the liquid in the cake. I’m not a coffee drinker so this recipe is perfect. Thanks for the yummy recipe!
The only thing I did different was add raisins to the inner layer of cinnamon sugar. Very tasty even without the raisins
Whoever commented to use tinfoil just cost me my coffee cake. DO NOT PUT TINFOIL FOR BAKING
Delicious and easy! Can’t wait to make again!
Delicious!! Easy!!
Thank you 😊
Easiest recipe to make and results are amazing, made it 5 times and it’s never wasted,everyone loves it!💞
I trust to find a recipe, an idea or just because I love Lil Linas. Thank You for your variety and quality.
THERE IS A BUNCH OF UNNECESSARY INFORMATION.UT86VF6UIRYTD6U7X7I
THERE IS A BUNCH OF UNNECESSARY INFORMATION
This is the best coffee cake I’ve ever made. The recipe is so easy and the cake is so moist, my sons loved it ! I’m so happy this recipe is my new go to for sure! I’m a baker and I love a recipe that I don’t have to go and buy special ingredients,I always have these ingredients on hand , so another plus for me. Thankyou for sharing and look forward to trying your other recipies !
Please update the actual recipe “card” to add the step about covering it with foil to bake. I “jumped” right to the recipe and put it in the oven without foil. Just seeing it now in the comments and covered it… hope it turns out 🙂
Yeah, same thing happened to me. I had to toss it.
The recipe says you don’t need to cover it when baking it. The aluminum foil was only for wrapping a cooked cake to reheat it in the oven.
Thank you for clarification. I thought I skipped instructing but no I didn’t and I’m happy to see another on here whom also didn’t see that listed. I’ve never baked a coffee cake that needed covering of foil. Reading directions, I see nothing that states covering with foil to bake. As for having to throw theirs out by one commenter all I have to say is get a thermometer for your oven.
I put them in the freezer and take a piece out and let it thaw when I want one. They are absolutely delicious cool like this! Great recipe!
Well, its not 5 min of prep 🤨. Closer to 15. I reduced the sugar by half, subbed apple sauce for the butter, added oats and pumpkin pie spice to the streusel. Baking it now in a brownie pan with separate compartments and a muffin tin. Excited to try it!!
I love your recipes because they’re simple ingredients one can get from anywhere in the world including here in Africa…appreciate alot am learning alot…thank you
You’re welcome! I’m so glad you are enjoying the recipes. Thanks for the review! 🙂
hi, confused. some people mention foil. I don’t see anything about foil in this rec. Also it says pour the batter, sprinkle HALF cinnamon mixture, pour remaining batter then butter. What happened to the other half of the cinnamon mixture? Sounds delicious. looking forward to trying it.
Oh yes! You will cover the cake with foil to bake. Then take off the foil and bake an additional 10 minutes. This info is in the post as well as mentioning to add the rest of the cinnamon/streusel mixture to the top. Then doing the butter drizzle. Thanks for the feedback on this. We’ll update that recipe card!
the instructions on the recipe have two errors— the butter says 1/4-1/3 c rather than the 1/3-1/2 c in the long form description and there’s no instruction (in the recipe itself) for what to do with the other half of the brown sugar and cinnamon. please fix. thank you.
Awesome! Easy coffee cake to put together! I added a little confectioner’s sugar drizzle to the top. Definitely can’t go wrong with this recipe.
Can this be made into muffins? If do, house many would it make? Thanks.
We actually have a recipe for Coffee Cake Muffins! The recipe makes 12 muffins. https://lilluna.com/coffee-cake-cupcakes/
So easy and so moist and delicious; always a hit when I make this for any occasion👍🏼
Made this recipe and it was absolutely delicious! And super easy. Next time I think I will add walnuts. But even without them it was very delicious. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
You’re welcome! Walnuts would be yummy in there for sure. So glad you enjoyed the cake!
does it still work without aluminum foil?
Foil is aluminum foil
My granddaughter and I made this for a church breakfast and everyone loved it. It was moist and delicious! Thank you. This one is definitely a keeper. I did bake it a few extra minutes with the foil off since I used the full 1/2 cup of butter on top.
What size pan???
13×9
9×13
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9-x-13-inch baking dish.
Delish and an ez recipe thanks
Went over well. I would make again. Easy
Im in the UK it would be great to have some weight/measuring conversions please. I played about with it and it was delicious but want to recommend this recipe to friends
Thanks for the suggestion. I know there are conversion charts online to convert to weight/grams that you may be able to use. But thank you for the suggestion… we’ll definitely keep that in mind as we make future recipes. 🙂
Delicious and easy to make!
I made this coffee cake tonight for company. I halved the recipe and baked it in a small bread tin. The only change I made was to substitute coconut sugar for the brown sugar, as that was what I had on hand. Everyone enjoyed it thoroughly. I probably baked it for 40 minutes at 350°F with the tin foil and then another 10 minutes without. Nice and moist with a crunchy top. Thanks for the recipe. I will make it again full size and with brown sugar. I’m sure it will be just as good.
I have made this twice. The first time was strictly by the recipe and the second time with apple filling. Both were fantastic!!! This is a keeper recipe! Thanks!
Put it in a quick release cake pan and it had to cook ten more minutes. It came out perfect. This is now my go to recipe
Added an extra egg made it extra fluffy. Love it!!! Not too sweet.
Everyone loved this, especially the men. I’ve been asked to make several times since. It’s delicious, simple as can be, and uses ingredients I always have on hand.
It was simple. And explained it very well on video. The smell in the house was great. Try it..I will be making more
I absolutely love this recipe, I’ve made it dozens of times at this point and it’s always a hit. Do you think this recipe would work with vegan ingredients?
Thanks for putting the measurements at the bottom of the page, about an essays worth of nonsense AFTER you initially stated the recipe. This is why cook books are getting popular again. You’re making us want to read books.
Great 👍 my guys loved it. Made a few quirks. But nice ,moisture. Thick batter. I poured warm butter over the top with an powder sugar icing. This will definitely be my go to.
I really like this recipe it was easy and it’s sweet enough sometimes you make it with the Buttermilk mix and it’s not sweet enough•• I did not put the strudel on it but instead put strawberries almond paste with some butter and brown sugar! It came right out of the glass pan!
I recommend this recipe! add your own fruit! Or dried maybe sprinkle with some oats!
Thanks for sharing what you did! I’m glad you enjoyed the cake!
I am trying your quick coffee cake in the morning. It sounds yummy.
Hope you love it!!
Do not put 1/2 cup of butter on top.
This recipe did not work out. I don’t recommend it.
Thanks for the feedback and for giving the recipe a try.
Can I prepare this the day before and bake it the next morning?
My sister wants me to make this tomorrow morning, and I was wondering if I could put it together today and leave it in the fridge until tomorrow morning and bake it then.
Yes, it should still turn out if you bake the next morning. I wouldn’t suggest waiting much longer than that because the baking powder will start losing its rising ability.
So delicious and easy! I cut the oil in half and used 1/2 C vanilla Greek yogurt in addition. Turned out moist and delicious! this has now been favorited in my baking recipes.
Thanks for sharing what you did. I’m so happy to hear that you enjoyed the cake!
Very delicious
I found this recipe last night. I suddenly had a craving for coffee cake and came across this quick easy recipe. I had all the ingredients in my kitchen but because I didn’t post attention to the directions, I had to take a trip to the store for more flour, brown sugar and milk. I came back home and put it altogether. I also added walnuts for extra crunch on top. It baked up perfectly, light most cake and crunchy topping. As soon as I tasted it, it brought back memories of having this cake years and years ago. Thank you!
You’re welcome! I’m so glad you found it and gave it a try. The walnuts on top sound tasty!
Easy to make,very delicious
Very delicious very easy ..
I brought this to a huge family reunion weekend and what a hit. It was soooo easy, it’s ingredients most usually have on hand, and people said it was the best coffee cake they’d ever had.
Oh that makes me so happy to hear! So glad the cake was a hit!
I made this. It turned out perfect and was delicious. This is one for the recipie file! I didn’t add any extra liquid. Make sure the lions share of the cinnamon and sugar goes on top so you dont end up with a liquid mess. Do not over mix.
So glad you enjoyed the recipe!!
I make this for our residents at the assistant living center where I work a d at home for my family. Everyone loves It!
Love this recipe for coffee cake! Yummy!!
it :3 was foooood
Thank you so much for this recipe! It’s been a favorite of ours for years – I can’t believe I haven’t thanked you yet! I like to make it with a little extra streusel… So good!
I’m so happy this cake is a favorite of yours! Mmm that streusel topping is the best. Thanks for sharing!
Delicious! I did have to bake for an additional 10 mins but other than that this coffee cake was easy to make, tender and tasty. I will make again!
Your blog post is so informative Thanks so much for sharing it. You’ve made a subscriber with me!
Oh thank you!! Happy to have you here!
Very delicious very easy ..
Smells so delicious. Can’t wait to eat it . I know it is going to be amazing
Hope you enjoyed the cake!!
I’m a huge coffee cake lover and had this recipe saved for about a month. I wasn’t motivated to bake until tonight but I’m sure glad I did! I used 1/2 cup of butter as well and it turned out perfect! At first I was a little hesitant in thinking that I wouldn’t have enough batter for two layers and it seemed a bit thin to me but I trusted the process and it turned out perfect! Thank you for sharing this recipe!!!
Oh you’re welcome! I’m so glad you gave it a try and enjoyed the cake!!
Love this recipe for coffee cake! Yummy!!
Just made this–delicious! Baking with foil on top, then taking the foil off as instructed makes the topping awesome!
Yay! So glad you enjoyed the cake!!
Hi I just made this cake. The middle is still raw. I need to put back in oven.
Don’t use 1/2 up of butter. 1/3 is enough. I used 1/2 a cup because I was being gluttonous and ended up having to cook the cake at least 25 minutes more for the centre to not be soupy. Otherwise great cake!
Thanks for the feedback and for giving the recipe a try!!
Amazing breakfast/coffee cake! Buttery,cinnamony goodness! Easy to make:basic ingredients! We loved it 😊
This coffee cake was amazing! It was easy to make and tasted fantastic. The cake was light and the streusel provided a sweet crunch. It disappeared quickly!
Where’s the reviews to read on the easy coffee cake? Thanks
Michel…..I made the ‘easy coffee cake’ and it is great!
The comments/reviews are at the bottom of the post. 🙂
I made this coffee cake and it was a big hit! Super easy to put together and enjoy! I’d like to try different fruits in it the next time. Just wondering if I could use canned fruit?? I will experiment with canned and fresh. This recipe is a keeper for sure!
You could definitely give it a try! I’m so glad you enjoyed the coffee cake!
Amazing! So easy to pull together, my 6-year-old and I made it and it was one of the best coffeecakes I’ve ever made (including my great aunt’s time-tested recipe!) Will definitely be keeping this in my recioe box! I baked a total of about 48 mins and didn’t cover the pan at all, awesome crunch on top amd moist crumb!!
I love this recipe. I used olive oil instead of vegetable oil, and used half spelt flour and half white flour and it turned out perfectly! Thank you!!
You’re welcome! Thanks for sharing what you did. So glad to hear that you enjoyed the recipe!
This recipe was so delicious that my son-in-law requested a copy. His response,” This was best coffee cake I have ever ate!”
Aw, that makes us so happy to hear! Thanks for sharing!
I made this recipe for Easter brunch. Everyone loved it!
On the negative side, I had 2 issues. 1. There wasn’t quite enough dough for 2 layers. 2. Bake time was way longer than stated in the recipe. It took almost 30 minutes longer.
Thanks so much for the feedback and for giving the recipe a try!
I haven’t made this yet, so I can’t rate it :). However, I noticed many people commenting on how the cake did not set or batter was too loose. Could it be that they added all the above ingredients, including what’s supposed to be the streusel? The recipe doesn’t specify which ingredients are for the streusel, although I’m guessing it’s the last three…
This recipe has become a tradition in our family and we absolutely love it. I often add about 10 minutes to the bake time, but otherwise I make it exactly as written. Twice a year we have a religious conference we watch together as a family and we have deemed this coffee cake “conference cake.” We’ve been doing this for several years now and it’s something we all look forward to. Thanks for a delicious recipe and cherished tradition!
Oh thank you for sharing!! That makes me so happy to hear that this cake has become a tradition and a part of your Conference weekend! So fun. Glad that your family loves the cake!
My family loved it! Just had a quick question. I used King Arthur all purpose floor which is unbleached hard red flour& malted barley flour which seems heavier and thicker I think. Should I increase the milk in this recipe for next time?
I have never used malted barley flour before, so I’m unsure of the texture would turn out. However, the batter for this coffee cake is very dense. Using a spoon or spatula to mix the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients can help with the density. If you’re really worried you can add an extra egg or a little bit more milk to thin it out and make it easier to pour.
Made it and everyone thought it was Heavenly!
Awesome!! That makes me so happy to hear. Glad to hear it was a hit!
the amount of ingredients was not given
It is there! 🙂 If you scroll to the bottom of the post, you’ll see the recipe card with ingredients and instructions. You can also click on “Jump to Recipe” at the very top and it’ll take you to the recipe card.
I made a half batch in a 8×8 cutting the ingredients in 1/2. I cooked it for the full 30 minutes with foil and the 10 without and it turned out perfect, no sogginess. I made it for my husband with his coffee. He liked it and told me I should make it again. Thanks for the easy recipe.
I’m glad the recipe turned out so well when you made a half batch. That’s good to know! Thanks for sharing what you did!
It’s super delicious…my only comment is I had to cook it for an extra 10 minutes !! Thank you for sharing 😊
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing what you did!
We cut the recipe in half. And I only did 1/4 c of oil and added a banana. So delicious, moist and easy!
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thanks for sharing what you did!
This is a good recipe with good instructions. The problem is way too much sugar in the batter. Reduce the sugar to 1/2 cup or 1/4 cup. I did it with 1/2 cup on the first try and it was still too much.
Thanks so much for your feedback on the amount of sugar to use. I’m glad the 1/4 cup sugar was to your liking. I’ll have to try it out with the 1/4 cup sugar as well. Thanks for the suggestion!
I make this recipe all of the time and it continues to be the biggest hit. Sorry for not leaving feed back sooner because I really do make it all of the time.
Awe, that makes me so happy to hear! I’m so glad you enjoy the recipe. Thanks for trying it and letting me know how you like it!
Fabulous. Easy. Delicious. Have made this at least 20 times. I usually cook a bit longer than recipe calls for.
I’m so glad you enjoy this recipe so much! It’s definitely one of my favorites AND one of my go-to’s for company. 🙂
This is easy to make and is absolutely Delicious! Thank you.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for trying it! 🙂
Can this recipe be cut in half?
It sure could 🙂 Enjoy!!
I have tried many of your recipes and I was never disappointed! I always look forward to your emails it means I will try a new recIpe of yours. Thanks for your inspiration.
Marilyn
Oh that means so much! Thank you for sharing and for being here and trying out the recipes!
I live at 8300ft so with a few modifications this coffee cake turned out wonderful. It’s so easy and it doesn’t require a lot of work. I would recommend this to anyone on the go!
Thank you!! So glad you enjoyed the cake!
I made exactly as instructions say. Baked 30 mins covered 10 mins covered, took it out and its suppppppper wet jiggly and raw in the middle. Adding at least another 15 mins minimum. Very delicious!!!! Loved the taste very simple yummy case.
Yes, the baking time can be affected by different ovens, temperatures/climates/altitudes, baking dishes, etc. Hopefully those few extra minutes helped the cake finish baking. Glad you enjoyed the flavor!
Does it matter if I use cake flour versus flour?
Cake flour is a bit of a different texture than all purpose flour. For this recipe, we’ve found regular flour to work great!
THIS CAKE WAS SO AMAZING!!! And so easy to make. I’m officially obsessed. Thank you! I have been craving coffee cake forever and now I’m so happy!
Oh I’m so glad you loved the cake!! Craving satisfied! 😉
QUICK AND EASY TASTE HOOD ALSO YOU CAN ADD FRUITS OR BERRY
Glad to hear you enjoyed the recipe!!
My staff loved it! So simple and quick to mix up and bake. Next time I want to layer apple slices in the middle.
Oh that sounds like a fun addition! So glad it was a hit with your staff!
Very good coffee cake. i followed the directions, but only used 1/2 C butter on top. My neighbors loved it!
Yay! So glad the recipe was a hit! Thanks for sharing what you did.
Would the recipe still work if I halve the ingredients?
Yes, they should! Just keep an eye on that baking time.
What a treat! Easy and tastes delicious! I had to bake much longer (like 15-20 more minutes) than directions but end result was great.
Thanks for sharing what you did!! I’m so glad you enjoyed the cake!
I wanted to surprise my wife with a coffee cake on Christmas morning so I made a “quick coffee cake recipe” search and stumbled onto this website. What a marvel!
I had all the ingredients in the house and it was a breeze to make. I was a little apprehensive about drizzling all that butter on top before baking it, but I am from France and we always say “when in doubt add more butter.” LOL
THAT COFFEE CAKE IS ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!!
We ate half the pan that morning, froze the leftover, and had the rest for new year’s eve. It tasted just as delicious.
I now have Lil’Luna’s website saved as a favorite.
I made this, and LOVED it! It was so amazing. I found the instructions helpful and clear!
Easy and outstanding! I have 6 kids as well and the 9×13 pan did not last long:) Really delicious! Thank you!
Could I use regular yogurt instead of sour cream?
Hello, I did 30 mins covered and 10 uncovered. When I stick the toothpick in it comes up with wet looking dough. Is this normal? Will it settle after cooling?
It will settle a little. Every oven is a little different and temperature/altitude can affect baking times too, so you can always leave the cake in a little longer if needed.
love love love this recipe!!!! we make it for every party, breakfast, shower, ex, and it’s even been requested for some birthdays and feast days. it has become our GO TO.
Incredible!!!
Any hints when pouring the top layer of batter that it doesn’t stick to the streusel?
The batter is pretty dense, so I’d suggest doing dollops all around and then trying to connect each section with a rubber spatula.
Hi,
Do you make your coffee cake by drizzling with glaze or not?
I typically don’t drizzle a glaze, but you definitely can!! If you want to add a glaze, make the glaze by mixing ½ c confectioners sugar with 1 tablespoon milk. Mix until smooth and drizzle over cooled cake.
Taste just like my Grandmothers!
This is the best coffee cake recipe. My family loves it. My kids ask for it every week. It is so easy to throw together, and baked up amazing. I have taken this coffee cake to potlucks and get togethers, and gotten so many compliments. I give it 10/5 stars!
This is a breakfast favorite! So yummy!
Can I bake this in a round cake pan? If so, what size?
I haven’t tried it in a round pan, but typically 9X13 pans can be baked in 2 either 8 or 9 inch pans. Baking time may be different if using round pans as well. You’ll have to let us know how it turns out in a round pan. 🙂
I found cake to be super wet I am leaving in extra 10 minutes. Not sure why as I followed recipe maybe its supposed to be wet on top
You can adjust the baking time if needed. Different ovens, altitudes, weather, etc. can affect baking!
Such an easy and yummy recipe to make!
I did not have brown sugar so I put marshmallows on the top. I was low on oil and subbed applesauce. -“It’s a good one!”, Mario bros.
Thanks for sharing what you did! Glad to hear it turned out yummy.
This was absolutely divine. Next time I might adjust the sugar to 3/4 cup (I’m not a sugar person) but otherwise perfect recipe. I made mine egg-less by subbing chia seeds. Thank you!
Thanks for sharing what you did! I’m so glad to hear you enjoyed the cake!
Love this coffee cake recipe. Thanks so much. 👍
I love this recipe! It truly is Easy & Moist!
This is one of my all time favorite recipes because it is so easy to make and it always turns out moist!
It’s perfect for breakfast or a treat at parties.
What type of oil? Vegetable, olive, corn? Does it matter?
Anything neutral should work. I use canola (well, half canola and half apple sauce) and it works brilliantly. Veg or corn would likely work just fine.
I typically use canola or vegetable oil, but you can use any kind that you prefer.
This was amazing. I was taken aback by how thick the batter was, as was mentioned in the instructions and had difficulty making half the batter stretch the length of the pan. Soooo I put it in a smaller pan, and ended up undercooking it (entirely my fault). But it was so flippin delicious after I scooped the soup out of the middle. What I will do next time (and there will be a next time) is use the recommended pan size, and a ladle and to pour the batter in. I did this for the top layer and it slides off the spoon in a nice ribbon which makes spreading much more controlled. I just dumped the bowl into the pan the first time and it was like glue.
The only other alteration I made was to use lactose free milk and butter – no issue. I also probably left 1/2 cup of the sugar mixture, and used less butter but that’s likely due to the pan size switch.
Just delicious.
I’m glad you enjoyed the cake recipe!! Thanks for sharing what you did. Hopefully it’ll cook a little more for you when using the other pan size. Thanks for giving the recipe a try!
Added stuff = yummy mode
Yes!! Love it haha. 🙂
It has pretty good taste. Lil dry for me but my hubby liked it.
Thanks for the feedback and for giving the recipe a try!!
How come the jump to video button doesn’t take you to a video? 🤷🏻♀️ The cake is currently baking hope it comes out delish!
It sometimes is a little glitchy, but if you are on a laptop/desktop, the video shows up in the post just a little ways from the top of the post. If on a mobile device, the video should pop up. Hope you enjoyed the cake this weekend!!
This cake is perfection. I am a long time baker and haven’t found any better. No special ingredients just things in your pantry. My husband chose it for his birthday cake. He loves the crunchy streusal.
Thank you. It’s a keeper for us
🥰
You’re so welcome! I’m happy to hear that you enjoy the cake… and your hubby chose it for his birthday cake!! So awesome. Thanks for sharing!
I had just started baking and been trying many recipes for cakes to have with my coffee and this is the most perfect one I have tried so far! Very moist and just the right amount of sweetness that compliments my bitter coffee. I think this will be a constant.
Thank you!
You’re welcome! I’m so happy to hear the recipe was a hit and that it’ll be a good companion to your coffee. 🙂 Thanks for sharing.
We had a craving for something sweet and this sounded like it would hit home and omg it knocked it out if the park! Soooooo moist and sweet!! Recipe saved for future hankerings!!
Yes!! I’m so glad to hear that! Thanks for sharing. 🙂
I made your recipe this morning and it was FANTASTIC I replaced the sugar with Stevia and Monkfruit and it worked great.
The only advice I have for you is to stop some of the ads that are so distracting. Especially frustrating was watching your video of making the coffee cake which is interrupted by an ad, then after the ad, it goes to another recipe not finishing the coffee cake recipe or the next recipe. The ads do this on every recipe. You have a very nice site and I understand making money on your site by allowing ads, but try doing it with other means and not so much jumping out at your visitors it’s a real turn-off. Just my thoughts, and thanks for a GREAT recipe.
Thanks so much for your feedback. We appreciate your thoughts. And glad you enjoyed the recipe too!
Perfectly moist and scrumptious. I’m so happy I found this recipe. Thank you for sharing!
You’re welcome!! I’m so happy to hear you enjoyed the cake recipe!
Such a awesome recipe , the butter you drizzle on top is just delicious 😋.
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed the cake!!
hi,
what baking dish size did you use?
thank you
I used a 9 X 13.
Making cake now without foil hope it turns out🤞🤞🤞
Fingers crossed!!
I thought this was excellent! Yes, there will be a some pooling while baking but then as the cake cools, it crisps up the brown sugar mixture on top. I stuck a knife in the middle before I took it out to make sure it was done because it can be hard to tell.
If you say this came out like a biscuit, well, you did something wrong. If you gave it less stars because it wasn’t healthy, well shame on you! No, it’s not healthy. It’s very indulgent and VERY good! We followed the recipe to a T! Don’t leave reviews after changing the recipe or not knowing how to adjust a recipe for high altitude baking.
Yay! I’m so glad to hear you enjoyed the coffee cake! Thanks for giving it a try. 🙂
WOW!! The best coffee cake ever! The instructions were clear. Once I took the aluminum foil off and baked it for 10 more minutes I felt that it needed a bit more time so I baked it for a further 5 minutes. Turned out fantastic!
Yay!! So so happy to hear you loved the cake! Thanks for giving it a try.
No issue here with pools of butter and I used the full 1/2 cup. In fact, I love that idea! It gave it a crisp caramelized top, making it a one of a kind coffee cake. Two enthusiastic thumbs up fine holiday fun.
Aw, thank you!! So glad the cake turned out. Thanks for sharing!!
This coffee cake recipe is our family’s favorite and we have been making it for ourselves; as well as guests for many years now. Have you ever tried making it the night before, covering; then baking the next morning? I see lots of “make ahead” coffee cake recipes, but this is our favorite. We are wanting to have it prepped so we can simply put it in the oven for early morning guests. Would love your thoughts on this. Thanks!
I’m so glad to hear you love the cake recipe! Thank you! You know, I haven’t made this one overnight so I’m not sure if it would work. My only concern would be the baking powder not working properly as when it’s baked right after mixing. But, you certainly could give it a try and see how it works! Might be worth experimenting with and seeing, especially if it does turn out well. 🙂 You’ll have to let us know!
I removed the foil and turned the temp to 400 degrees for the last ten minutes and it came out perfect! My husband won’t let me take any of it to share with the people I work with! Thank you for the yummy recipe.
Haha! That’s awesome. I’m glad that you (and it sounds like your husband especially) love the cake recipe!
It is the best! I added chopped walnuts to the brown sugar mixture. but only used 1/4 cup of melted butter. both my grown sons thought it was awesome.
Oh I bet the walnuts were a delicious addition! So glad you all enjoy the cake!
hi, i made this and I haven’t eaten it yet. It smells delicious but I got little pools of oil in the sides. Ive never made coffee cake before so I don’t know whats normal and whats not. Also my cake batter was super dense, like a dough, I am not sure if I did it right. I added some milk to it to thin it and it became a little more manageable. I was wondering what the after care of the cake should be. Like how should it look coming out of the oven? How do I know when its done? Can I eat it straight away or do I have to wait? Thanks for the recipe, I’m very excited to try it!
Hi! Yes, the batter is supposed to be dense. So you did it right if the batter was dense. Adding a bit more milk is the perfect remedy if it was too dense to work with. After the cake comes out of the oven, you can let it cool a bit and then dig in. I like to eat the cake warm. But I know some people enjoy letting it completely cool off and eating it cold too. Either way! Hope you enjoyed the cake. 🙂
This was a really good coffee cake – we had to call it breakfast cake or the grandkids wouldn’t even try it they don’t like coffee. Nice and moist. It was a great size for a family of 6. Enough for 2nds for everyone. I made sure to save it in Pinterest so I could find it easily again. It’ll go in my breakfast rotation!
I wonder if cutting the butter into the brown sugar/cinnamon mixture would even out the puddling spots. I might try that next time.
So glad to hear you all enjoyed the cake. And I love the name change! 😉 Thanks for sharing!
This recipe is super delicious!! I’m soooo glad I found it! My husband and son finish this in a blink and then ask me to bake another so I almost always end up making back to back. Lately I’ve substituted half of the oil for apple sauce and added chopped pecans on top. Still amazing!! Thanks so much for sharing your recipe!
You’re welcome! The substitutions/additions sound tasty. I’m so glad that this recipe is a hit with your family!!
Wow! This recipe is amazing! I am always looking for an easy Sunday morning breakfast bread that I can make the night before. I’m happy to have found this one! I followed the recipe exactly as far as ingredients are concerned. I used a silicone spatula to spr ad each layer out. After I cooked it covered and then uncovered it, I cooked it the ten minutes stated and then let it cook another ten minutes. It was still moist on top but was cooked through. It is amazing how much this tastes like a much more complicated treat but it really is so easy! This will be in our regular special breakfasts rotation. Thanks!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it as much as we do! It’s on our special breakfasts rotation at my house too. Thanks for sharing what you did!
Really quick and easy to make. Added diced (canned) apples to base layer with chopped pecans on top. Soooo good! Thanks for sharing
The apples and pecans sounds like delicious additions! Thanks so much for sharing!
I thought the recipe read fine. Very good coffee cake, my family loved it. Tom as far as the aluminum foil goes just re-use it then recycle.
I’m glad to hear your family enjoyed the cake! Good suggestion with the tin foil. Thanks for sharing!
Best recipe ever!! Easy and SO GOOD!!!! Highly recommend everyone tries this recipe
Thank you so much!! I’m so glad you enjoyed the cake!
Light and delicious. Loved it.
Thank you!! So glad you enjoyed the recipe!
can i make as muffins?
I haven’t tried this specific recipe in muffin form, but if you try it, you should let us know how it turns out! We do have a specific recipe for Coffee Cake Cupcakes/Muffins. The recipe is a little different than this cake recipe, but is yummy too. https://lilluna.com/coffee-cake-cupcakes/
I’ve been baking for 50 plus years.made many a coffeecake. All good, but, this one reminds me of my grandmother. Thank you.
Oh I love that! Thank you so much for sharing. So happy to hear you enjoyed the Coffee Cake too.
I followed the recipe to a tee. Even though you said it would be dense I was still a little afraid of how dense it was but OMG – this was absolutely fabulous. DELICIOUS!!!
Thank you!! We’re so glad to hear that you enjoyed it!
Is it supposed to be 1.5 cups of sugar brown sugar in the streusel crumble? I used it all and it is very sweet for me! Next time I think I might half the brown sugar. Otherwise it is pretty good. Thank you!!
Yes, that’s what the recipe calls for. You can certainly adjust the amount if it’s a bit too sweet for you. Thanks for your feedback and for giving the recipe a try!
It’s hubby’s bday today and I offered to bake him whatever he wanted, and of course he requested coffee cake. He’s a simply guy! I’ve been scouring the internet for days. He didn’t want nuts. He didn’t want fruit. He didn’t want chocolate chips. He just wanted lots of cinnamon in a simple coffee cake. His favorite coffee cake ever was one that we had at a coffee shop in Hawaii and he’s been looking for something similar ever since. Well, guess what? He says this recipe beats that one. I can’t believe how easy it was to throw together! (But I do think I will use salted butter next time. It will cut down the sweetness just a tad.)
Oh yay! I’m so happy that he approved and loved the coffee cake recipe. It’s a favorite over here too! Happy birthday to him (yesterday)!
So good!!! Mine took an extra 10 minutes or so to cook and I did 1/3 cup of butter (vs. 1/2) to reduce the moisture on the batter a bit. Great recipe!
Too much to wade thru before finding the actual recipe. Pan size separated from recipe and should be ,in my opinion, the first line of the instructions. I would use half of the butter as it pooled on top and half of the brown sugar, just too sweet for me.
Can this be prepared the night before and put in the refrigerator then baked in the morning?
I would definitely recommend baking the cake the morning of, but you could certainly try making it the night before. If you do, wrap tightly with plastic wrap. Then set it out while preheating the oven. Again, I haven’t actually tried doing this and would recommend baking it the day of, but if you do try it, you’ll have to let us know how the cake turns out!
This is my absolute favorite recipe to make!! It is sooooo delicious😊
Thank you!! So glad you love the cake!
I used 1/3 cup of butter but it was to much,and I baked it with foil for 30 minutes with foil and there was a huge puddle of butter and cinnamon than I baked it for 10 minutes uncovered and the puddle was smaller but it was still liquidy and I took it out since it was a little burnt
Sorry to hear your cake didn’t quite turn out! Not sure exactly what caused the butter to pool. You could try reducing the butter slightly or keep it covered longer so the butter soaks in but doesn’t burn the cake. Also letting it sit and cool a bit after it bakes may help the butter soak in to the cake.
It is unclear what kind of oil I should use.
I typically use canola or vegetable, but coconut oil could work too!
This was a hit for my MIL’s bday and I quite like it myself too. I was nervous because he recipe seemed a little vague and I am VERY novice at baking but overall it turned out! I melted the full half cup of butter in a pyrex so I could pour as much as I needed and ended up using all of it.
DISCLAIMER:: something is wrong with my oven and I *always* have to nearly if not double the time when baking…
After the 30min the butter was just pooled all over the top and I was sure I ruined it but my husband encouraged me to continue baking it before removing butter as the cake was severely under done still (see issue with my oven and not the recipe). I cooked for another 10min (twice) still covered with foil and then another 5. The butter did soak into the cake after the second increment of 10min. My cake rose to meet the foil so a lot of the topping stuck to it but there was so much it didn’t make an issue. I should note I baked in a glass 9×13, but sure if that would be recommended or not (see again VERY novice baker). The cake came out a little denser than I was expecting with how much it rose, but with how much butter was on top it was still moist! And we didn’t actually have it with coffee so that was perfect! I had a piece cold the next day and I really like it that way. My FIL is already requesting one for his bday as well!
Way to keep with the cake even when it took a little extra time and love. So glad you enjoyed the cake!! Next time will be even easier now that you know what to expect, right? 😉
Just did my first retry of the recipe, and yes! Easier knowing what to expect 😛
I used the same glass pan since it’s the only one I have- baked for 50min in my derp oven, it was still a little under in the center so I baked uncovered for 15min instead of 10 and it seems to have come out the same with less handling 👍.
Does it usually rise so much? It still reaches the foil and peels off some of the top layer for some reason 🤷♀️. I still prefer it cold I think, can’t wait for leftovers!
Yay! I’m so glad you were willing to try it again. Sounds like it worked a little better the second time around. Yes, the cake will rise a bit since it has baking powder in it. If using foil for the top, you could try spraying the underside of the foil with cooking spray so it doesn’t stick to the cake. Hope the cold cake tastes delicious!! 😉
This coffee cake was absolutely delicious! Definitely the best I have ever had and I will keep this recipe forever. The only comment I have is that next time I will use less butter. I went with going closer to the half a cup worth of butter and it pooled quite a bit in the middle of the cake so I had to spoon it off while it was baking. But after that it baked up perfectly and was a huge hit! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the feedback! I’m so glad you enjoyed the cake!!
I followed the recipe exactly. I used a little under 1/2 cup of butter. It came out perfect and it was soooo delicious!
Thanks for sharing! I’m so glad you liked the cake!!
Awesome and easy!!!
Yay! So glad you enjoyed it!
I’m thinking the one cup of oil is a misprint? Hoping to make this tonight, praying for a quick response!
Hi Catherine! The one cup of oil as the recipe says is correct. Hope the cake turned out yummy for you! 🙂
Truly the best! So moist and yest crunchy and sweet! Everyone loves it!
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed the recipe!
Just want to check, but when you say oil, are we talking olive oil or is there a specific oil i should be using?
Good question! I typically use canola or vegetable oil for this recipe.
Could this coffee cake be made in a Bundt pan? How would I need to change the baking time?
Yes, you could! The baking time will typically be longer in a bundt pan since it is deeper than the 9X13. Since I haven’t tried this recipe in a bundt pan, I’m not sure an exact baking time. So I’d suggest checking the cake every 10-15 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean when you insert. You’ll have to let us know how it turns out!
This was super delicious! I did 1/3 cup melted butter and 1 Tablespoon cinnamon for the topping. I also changed the oil to 1/2 cup and added 1/2 cup applesauce. I cooked it for 20 min covered. Then I pulled it out and gently and quickly moved some of the melted butter in the middle to the sides with a spoon and cooked another 15 min. Came out perfectly! I have an oven thermometer to make sure it cooked at 350.
Sounds like some great substitutions! Glad they worked out well and that you enjoyed the cake!
I agree with you
Wish I could post my picture of it as it turned out great! Thank you! Followed directions, added drained can peaches and baked in my gas oven middle rack for at least 45 minutes. In Wisconsin
You’re welcome! I’m so glad to hear it turned out well and that you enjoyed the cake!
This coffee cake was super simple and very delicious! I will definitely make it again, but with one minor tweak. I wasn’t sold on the streusel topping as is. I used the correct measurements of brown sugar and butter, but the proportions seemed off to me, so I added about a half cup of flour to the mix.
Yay! Glad to hear you enjoyed it and made adjustments to your liking!
I rate this recipe stars! It easy to make and is delicious, the only thing I changed was the extract, I used maple. Next time, however, I will up the cinnamon, I almost did it, but decided to stay with the original recipe. We love cinnamon!
Oh that is a fun change to use maple extract. I bet that was yummy! Glad you enjoyed the recipe!
Amaze balls best recipe I have always enjoyed it . Highly recommended
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for trying it!
This turned out great! I was looking to use some milk that unexpectedly went sour and so happy I found your recipe. I added walnuts to the topping mixture and extra cinnamon. I added you to my “following” list! Looking forward to more ideas.
Walnuts would be a great addition to this recipe. And you can’t go wrong with extra cinnamon. Thanks so much for trying it!
I make this all the time exactly as written and I’ve never had an issue with it. It’s delicious and it freezes really well for quick breakfasts when I don’t have time to cook. It’s great with chopped walnuts and/or chocolate chips added to the cinnamon-sugar mixture, too.
I’m glad you like this recipe so much! I should try it with chocolate chips too. That sounds delicious!
Great recipe!!!
I was very apprehensive because the batter looked kind of gluey, and when I poured the butter on top I was concerned about the amount of liquid.
I used the high end on the butter, and I cut the streusel portion down to about 2/3rds. I cooked an additional 5-10 minutes (and I’m generally an undercooker on baked goods). Suuuuuuper moist and delicious.
Would make again. I would likely make a 1.5 recipe and do a tri-layer with the streusel.
Thanks for sharing what you did. I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe! 🙂
I forgot to grease and or flour the pan?? I didn’t see that info in the directions? Will it ruin my coffee cake?
It says to lightly grease a 9 x 13 pan in step 3 of the recipe. The coffee cake may stick to the bottom of the pan a bit but hopefully it won’t stick too much. Let me know how it goes. Thanks so much for trying the recipe!
The coffee cake turned out just fine! It didn’t stick to the bottom, thank you 🙂
Easy to make and it tastes great!! We will be making this recipe again!!
Oh I am so glad it turned out and didn’t stick to the bottom! Thanks so much for letting me know! I appreciate it. I’m so glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
So good and easy !
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
I used Carbquick in place of regular flour. It has very few carbs. Also substituted Splenda for the sugar. Cut the brown sugar to 1 cup. Also reduced the oil to half a cup. I also added some toasted pecans. Everyone really liked it including myself. I must admit its really hard to spread that batter. Its so thick. I might add a little more milk next time to make that job easier. Thanks for the recipe.
You’re welcome! Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing what you did!
I double checked myself and I did all of the measurements correctly…but I barely had enough batter for even one thin layer in a 9×13” pan. I think it may have been okay in a 9×9….but definitely not for a 9×13. Also, I think the issue everyone is having with the center not baking is related to the amount of butter poured over the top. I’m glad I read all of the comments ahead of time and adjusted that.
Thanks so much for your input! I really appreciate it!
Just made your coffee cake,added some sliced apples and blueberries, only added 10 more minutes on cake a just afew more after I took foil off..Thisis a very tasty cake although the apples have alittle crunch, still very good. Will make again!!
hi there ! i tried making your cake but unfortunately it didnt come out anything like how i would expected it too. is there something i did wrong ? i followed all the instructions but yet it didnt cook properly after leaving it in for a aditional 20 min
I’m not sure exactly why it didn’t turn out the way you had hoped but I know that each oven is calibrated a little bit differently. The temperature of your oven may run a little lower than mine. That might not be the issue but is something I always take into consideration. I’m so sorry it didn’t turn out the way you had planned. Thanks so much for trying it!
Excellent recipe…and so tasty! I’m a seasoned home cook/baker, but had trouble with baking time on this recipe. I’m sure the fault is mine, but to get the center done, it took an hour to bake through. The edges were a bit crunchy (which I like anyway), but otherwise cake turned out excellent. This recipe is going into my personal favorite recipe card box.
Thank you for sharing!
You’re welcome! I’m glad you enjoyed it. Thanks so much for sharing what you did!
The best buttery, crunchy, rich soft coffee cake ever. Everybody raves!
Awe, thank you so much! I’m so glad everyone likes it!
Can I substitute milk for almond milk?
This is a five star coffee cake! It is super moist and scrumptious, it is so goood my three year old grandson asked to make it this morning (5-3-2021), and he is a very PICKY eater. P.S. To help another commenter, yes you can you use Almond milk. That is the only milk I use and it still comes out very DELICIOUS. Hope this helps.
Thank you! That is awesome to hear about your grandson! So glad to hear the cake was a hit.
Yes, you sure can! It might alter the result slightly, but the cake should still turn out wonderful!
I make this recipe often. It’s a big hit when my guy and his friend go to camp to trap and hunt. It’s always something they ask me to make.
I’m so glad you like it as much as we do! Thanks for sharing!
Did anybody find the recipe a bit confusing- cuz I thought that I was supposed to add both sugars and the butter into the batter 😬
I’m sorry you found the recipe instructions confusing. I will read over them and make sure I clarify more in the directions. Thanks for trying it!
I rate this recipe stars! It easy to make and is delicious, the only thing I changed was the extract, I used maple. Next time, however, I will up the cinnamon, I almost did it, but decided to stay with the original recipe. We love cinnamon!
We’ve made this a few times and always been very happy with it. Turned out delicious whether a whole or half recipe (in 8×11). And we add walnuts to the strudel layer. Thanks so much!
Walnuts sounds like a great addition! Thanks so much for sharing! Glad you enjoy it!
This cake was perfect! I followed the directions exactly. It was just right for a 9×13 pan and rose beautifully. I went with the lesser amount if melted butter on top. We ate it warm, right out if the oven with no icing. Thank you!
I’m so happy you enjoyed it so much! Eating it warm straight out of the oven is the best!
This is delicious!!!! Thank you for such an easy recipe!
You are so welcome! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Great recipe! Easy ingredients and instructions! I used 1/3 cup of butter and waited to serve until all of the butter soaked into the cake. Some reviewers complained about the 9×13 pan but I can’t imagine this recipe fitting in a smaller pan. It rose to the top of my pan. Although batter is thick it just takes patience and a spatula to spread it out. Thanks for this recipe!! I will definitely make this again!
You’re so welcome! I’m glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much for sharing what you do!
This recipe is so so good & so so easy! I had friends over one evening & made it for dessert. It was a huge hit! They’ve requested it when they come over again next month. It makes a lot so they’ll get to take some home.
I’m so glad you and your friends enjoyed it so much! Thanks so much for sharing! 🙂
Followed the directions and recipe almost exact— added nutmeg, toasted almonds to the top, and drizzled lightly with Salted Carmel sauce after baked. Turned out beautifully. Great recipe to add your own special touches too. Thank you for sharing!
The Salted Caramel sauce you added at the end sounds amazing! Same with the nutmeg and almonds too. Thanks so much for sharing what you do! 🙂
The prep time is not 5 minutes and the cook time is not 25 minutes.
After 25-30 minutes of cooking the foil is removed and the cake cooks for another 10 minutes. So the total cooking time is closer to 40 minutes. The instructions on cook time aren’t as clear as they need to be so I will change that in the post. Thanks so much for catching that!
Great. I used a bit less flour (ran out), oat milk, corn oil, cane sugar instead of brown sugar, and smart balance instead of butter. I also didn’t put the streusel in the middle just on top. Was delicious and moist! Probably used a bit more cinnamon, too. 😋
All of your substitutions sound amazing! I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing what you do!
Hi Kristyn! When you say you can store this for up to 3 months in a bag and air tight container, do you mean in the freezer? I am assuming so but just wanted to clarify. Thanks!!
Yes – it can be stored for up to 3 months in the freezer. I will make sure that is clarified in the post. Thanks for letting me know!
Super easy and super tasty!
Thanks! I’m so glad you like it as much as we do!
This was delicious!!! I added chopped pecans to the streusel topping. YUM!!! My house smells amazing!
Chopped pecans sounds like a lovely addition! I’m so happy you enjoyed it!
This cake is awesome! I did have to cook it a bit longer than the recipe called for.
However, had I used the 1/3 cup of butter recommendation, that might not have been necessary. I was tempted to make it in a smaller pan, but am happy I didn’t.
It baked up nicely.
I’m so glad it turned out well for you! Thanks so much for sharing your tips and suggestions!

Very easy to cut in half and bake in a 8×8 square pan. Added extra cinnamon and a liberal amount of chopped pecans. It was a big hit for Sunday brunch!
Chopped pecans sounds like a great addition! So glad you enjoyed it for your Sunday brunch. Thanks for sharing!
Streusel topping turned out perfectly. I used 1/2 cup butter. Cake was rich and delicious.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much for sharing!
This cake’s a keeper. Just loved it. Turned out really good although I had concerns about the batter being too thick and the butter being too liquidy but after the second round in the oven without the foil it turned out just fine. The only comment I have is that a 9×13 pan was too big for it so I had to transfer the batter to a 9×9 pan and it was perfect, even though I used the exact same quantities mentioned in this recipe. Not sure if anyone else had the same issue. But the taste and consistency of the cake made up for any issues hence the five stars.
I’m so happy you liked it! I’m glad the 9 x 9 pan worked out perfectly. I will definitely make a note of that! Thanks!
This recipe is truly AMAZING! It tastes best when warm. I enjoyed making it and had no problems. I recommend being careful with how much butter you put on the top, but if you put too much, just cover with the leftover brown sugar and cinnamon mixture. Overall, it tasted great and my family really liked it.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing! 🙂
Has anyone tried making this without covering with foil?
To answer my own question, I cooked it without the foil, for 40 minutes, and it came out great!
I’m so glad it turned out! 🙂
I was skeptical when I saw how thick the batter was but it turned out great. My kids already want me to make it again.
I’m so glad you and your family enjoyed it! Definitely a kid friendly recipe!
Best coffee cake ever!!
So glad you loved it!
Excellent! And so easy, too.
I did half of the butter on the middle section and a little extra milk as well and it was amazing!! Seriously so soo good, thanks for the recipe!! Not too difficult to make and very enjoyable.
Thank you for sharing what you did! Glad you liked it!
Most Excellent. I tried it. It was awesome…
Thank you for trying it! Glad you like it!
This was a delicious coffee cake.
I feel the amount of time to prepare and bake is off. It took me longer than 5 minutes to prepare, probably closer to 10 minutes. Also you bake for 25 minutes covered plus 10 more uncovered.
I feel total time is closer to 45 minutes. But, like I stated before it is delicious.
Thank you for trying it 🙂 Glad you like it!
Thanks so much for sharing this recipe. It turned out very good. 5 stars !! 10 stars !! 11 stars !! I too needed some more time to get the center to cook all the way. I am a creative type, so next time I want to use some apple sauce to replace half the oil, and I want to add some diced apples as well to the batter and to the topping. So so glad to have come upon this tasty treat while hunkered down in the latest polar vortex storm. This brought smiles all around !!!
Adding as many stars as I can 🙂
That makes me so happy!! Love adding some different things! Stay safe out there!
This is delicious. It makes around 24 muffins, I baked them for 20 min at 400° and they came out perfect.
Good to know! Thank you for sharing that!
I love this recipe.
I am so happy you do! Thank you!!
Incredible! If I want to make it in mini bunt pans should I put the sugar on the bottom and batter on top of that? Additionally, How long would you suggest cooking it for?
I am so sorry, but I haven’t tried, so I don’t want to tell you the wrong thing. I would need to experiment with it. If you try, let me know how they turn out 😉
Taste good. When splitting the reciepe for the layers we found there wasn’t alot of it left to cover for the top. Also took way longer than suggested baked time. Took an hour. Just will know for next time to plan ahead as we ended up having it more as a brunch than breakfast.
Thank you for trying it 🙂
I made this wonderful recipe yesterday for a brunch I was invited to. It was a huge hit! My tweaks included using coconut oil, adding 1/2 cup of flour and 1c chopped pecans to the streusel, cooking it 5 minutes longer and using half of the butter (I used 1/2c like the recipe showed) on the first layer of streusel and the remainder on the top to eliminate the pooling I read about. I will definitely be using this recipe in the future.
Sounds good! Glad it was a hit! Thank you for sharing that!
so easy to make! My house smells fantastic. Can’t wait to serve it to my friends 🤗
I hope they like it! Thank you for sharing the recipe!
I just finished eating a piece. It was really good. Mine didn’t get done in the middle but that could have been my oven. Everybody loved it.
I appreciate you trying it! Thank you!
I use your recipes all the time. May I add I love them all. Thank you
Awe, thank you so much!! I appreciate you letting me know!
Can I add a cup of coffee into this recipe ?
I personally have not tried, so not sure how it would change the recipe.
This recipe does not disappoint! I’ve made this coffee cake at least a dozen times, and it’s always perfect. Some coffee cakes come out dry and crumbly regardless of bake time, but this one is always tender and moist. Part way through mixing this up a few times I’ve realized I’m short an ingredient, but it flexes well with olive oil in place of vegetable oil and half and half instead of milk. Soooo good every time!
Thank you so much for sharing that!! That makes me so happy!
Making this for my husband today, I hope he likes it.
I hope he likes it, too! Thank you!
Easy and good!
Glad you think so 🙂 Thank you!
What a delicious coffee cake! I did half oil and half apple sauce and was definitely impressed with how moist this coffee cake is. I had to almost double cooking time but I think that’s just my oven – everything takes longer than expected. But, hey, that’s what toothpicks are for.
My partner has always disliked coffee cake because they’re always too dry and boring. This one was anything but and made a quick convert of her.
Thanks for the wonderful recipe!
You are so welcome!! Thank you so much for sharing that!
Well, there you go. Was about to make this again and I noticed the pan size is not the 9×9 that I used. That certainly explains the longer bake time! 🤪
It was lovely as a nice thick cake, though. No regrets.
Thanks again!
for the 1 cup of oil – what kind?
I use vegetable oil 🙂
I made this recipe this morning – and it actually woke my 14 year old up wanting to know if it was ready yet :). It tastes even better than it smells! Definitely a make again!
Oh and BTW – I made it with Coconut oil, and I did have to cook it an extra 15 minutes with the foil off – so 25 minutes with foil on plus total of 25 minutes with foil off.
LOL!! Love that! Thank you for letting me know!
Husband is obsessed with this coffee cake… I have made it 3 times now and every time he finishes a pan of it he starts asking me to make it again a couple days later. So easy to make, comes together fast and doesn’t get dry in the fridge even after a couple days.
Haha..tell your hubby thank you! And, thank you for letting me know!
Can u use 2 loaf pans and split the recipe ??
I have not tried putting it into 2 pans. So, I can’t say for sure how it will turn out.
For me the recipe called for too much butter that ended up just pooling and soaking the top of my coffee cake. Because of this it felt like the top half of the batter just wasn’t cooking. I ended up broiling and it actually turned out great, caramelizing the brown sugar and giving the cake a nice crackly top. Going forward I’ll probably lessen the butter by half if not more but the cake turned out delicious! This will definitely be my go to coffee cake recipe as I usually don’t have sour cream on hand and every other recipe seems to need this.
Thank you so much for letting me know! Glad you tried it!
Thanks for the recipe. I have been looking for an easy coffee cake recipe. And found this one. And it is so very good!! Thank you so much. 5 stars!!
Yay!! Glad you found it! Thank you!
1/4 cup butter sounded like a tad too much, I went for it anyways. I used a round 11’ pan I was so worried that I used far too much butter when I saw the sugar mixture floating in it. After the initial bake with the foil on and then the 10 with the foil off. There was still too much butter so I set the timer for Another 5 min and that turned into 15. It was the most delicious coffee cake ever. Served warm with a scoop of salted caramel ice cream. Will make again for sure. Might lower the butter to 1/3 next time, not sure. Thanks for the recipe.
You are welcome! Thank you for sharing what you did!
I used 1/2 cup butter not 1/4. Typo 😉
Do we use salted or unsalted butter??
I like to use unsalted 🙂
Prep time and cook time are underrepresented in the beginning of this post. I used apple sauce in place of the oil which made a moist cake. I added half a cup of flour to the streusel because I wanted more of a crumble than a sugar crust. Otherwise I’m happy with the recipe. Easy and tasty.
Thank you for trying it 🙂
This came out great! One suggestion though, in step 2 of the recipe, could you specify you mean ONLY white sugar and not brown? I made a mistake the first time, I added in both brown and white sugar and I had to throw it out and start over. I think this would make your intention clearer. Otherwise great recipe! 🙂
Thank you for trying it!! Glad you liked it!
The best recipe!
I am so happy you think so 🙂 Thank you so much!
The recipe doesn’t say all purpose flour or self rising?
I use all-purpose 🙂
I absolutely love this coffee cake. My grandparents as well it a hit the family
Happy it’s a hit! Thank you for sharing that!
baked for first time today. Simple ingredients and fast to assemble and combine. Makes a larger coffee cake than most recipes which is great for a family of 5 or more (or family gathering). I too increased cooking time by five minutes and used the 9×13 pan. I added chopped pecans to topping mixture. Will definitely bake again and share recipe.
That makes my day! Thank you for letting me know 🙂
Love me some lil Luna recipes! This coffee cake will most likely become my favorite go to coffee cake recipe for awhile! I have made this coffee cake the last three times I made coffee cake, seems like I never have enough! The last time I made coffee cake I thought three coffee cakes would be enough, I was wrong! I took three coffee cakes to work and before I got a chance to get a piece, it was gone! Gonna start a Boston Butt today to cook tomorrow wanna guess were I’m going for this recipe, lilluna.com! Thank you lil Luna!
You are so welcome! You have made my day!! Love hearing that! Thank you so much!
Should the batter ge jiggly in the middle when removing from oven?
Not too much! Sometimes, it is, but it shouldn’t be gooey.
BEST COFFEE CAKE EVER! I baked mine UNcovered for 35 minutes. Crunchy topping, very moist buttery cake. PERFECTION!!!
That makes me so happy to hear! Thank you for trying them & letting me know!
It’s not the best coffee cake recipe, but it’s still tasty! I ended up with a pool of butter in the middle of my cake, so my suggestion is to mix the brown sugar and cinnamon with a little flour and half the butter recommended and then lay it on top. I would also add some cinnamon and brown sugar to the dough. I did add pecans for extra crunch, just because I had a lot extra from baking over the holidays.
It’s sweet and moist, and good for a quick treat!
Thank you for sharing your suggestions!!
Absolutely delicious! Such a simple recipe
I am so happy you think so 🙂 Thank you for letting me know!
The best recipe ever.
Awe, thank you so much for saying that!
Just made this this morning. The recipe turned out fine, cooked a little longer than specified but ovens/pan are different and vary. Added frozen mango chunks to bottom of pan and put 3/4 of sugar to make less sweet. Gonna file this one, delish and simple. Thank you Kristyn, beautiful family, God bless.
You are welcome! That sounds great! Thank you for sharing what you did!
Made this twice. The flavor is amazing. Everyone in the house loves it. Only marking this down because it states 30 minutes total, however, on the recipe card it calls for up to 40 minutes in the oven. Both times this has taken closer to 50 minutes + in my Bosch oven. I do live at elevation so that usually adds a few minutes, may try it on convection bake next time.
Thank you for trying it!
This batter did not pour into the pan. It was not that consistency at all. I had to spread it in the pan so I hope I did it right. I made sure I followed the recipe correctly but we will see how it turns out.
It is a thicker batter. I hope it turned out!
I love this recipe even though I feel like it is too much sugar. I made it ended up setting my oven on fire (literally) because the brown sugar and butter spilled in the oven. I use C temperature and I have no idea why I thought the recipe would be in C not in F. Thus the chaos haha I managed to save the cake comewhat I love it but too sweet. So I would suggest maybe less sugar in the batter if you don’t like really sweet flavours.
Thank you for the recipe 💞
Oh, no!! Glad you caught it! Thank you for trying it!
It’s in the oven and smells wonderful. So easy
Yay!! Happy to hear that! Thank you for trying it & for letting me know!
This is delicious.
Please note: I put the butter into the microwave to melt it. Forgot it there.
So not a drop of butter went into it and EVERYONE, myself included, went back for seconds.
Good to know! Glad you all liked it! Thank you!!
This is my FAVORITE coffee cake recipe! Read some of the other reviews that theirs didn’t set up, and I’ve cooked this 5+ times and never had that experience. I make the recipe exactly as written, except I don’t use foil during the baking process—I haven’t found that it overcooks the edges at all. I cook in a 9×13 glass pan that works great. The batter is definitely dense which I wasn’t sure about at first, but it bakes up great. Since it’s so dense, need to be careful when measuring out the bottom layer to make sure you’re using pretty close to half the batter. Some coffee cakes are handheld and I have not found that to be the case with this cake since it’s so moist and luscious, but it’s just as good with plate and fork!
I am so glad to hear this! I have never had issues either. Thank you so much for saying that!
Thank you for posting this recipe, I haven’t made coffee cake since I was a kid using jiffy mix! It is still in the oven but it smells just like i remember.
Glad you found it! Thank you for trying it & letting me know!
I read some reviews of people saying it didn’t cook well so I assumed they had a cake pan too small and the mixture was too thick. After measured up my pans I found out this is actually an oven tray dish in my country. Filled up the dish and the batter was gooey not runny. Carried on hoping for the best (I’m a noob) and cooked it for 5min extra (I used 170c instead of 176c) in my oven. Came out real tasty, moist, able to break apart, and I ate it impatiently and didn’t go ahead with icing as it was nice enough plain. Next time I’ll use 1c brown sugar (UK size) as 1.5 makes it sweet enough that I can only eat two slices but my eyes want to eat more. Thanks for the recipe I’ll definitely try it again and patiently let it cool to see if icing takes it to another level. 5/5 recipe easily.
You are so welcome! Thank you so much for sharing that with us!
I’m giving this a try, it’s in the oven as I type… is the batter supposed to be real thick? Pouring it wasn’t an option, more like scoop and spread. Oh well, itll be cake or it won’t and the fam will eat it or they won’t. 😁
Yes, it is pretty thick. Sure hope you like it! Thank you!
Amazing! This cake was gone in seconds. I am not quite sure about the comments that state this was bland. It was full of flavor.
Thank you for saying that! I couldn’t agree more!
Can I use Self Rising Flour instead of the Regular Flour.? And if I can what changes would I make to your recipe? Would I NOT put in any Baking powder and salt? Would I just leave those 2 items out of this recipe when using Self Rising Flour or is it that you’d still need to add it but just less then is called for? I apologize for these questions however I’ve a Extremely rare Malignant Inoperable Clivus Chordoma Brain Tumor and its hard for me to get out so all I have is the self rising kind. Thank you. Be blessed 2021
No problem at all. I wish I knew if you would change anything. I haven’t personally tried the self rising flour. Usually you wouldn’t want to add another leavening ingredient. You can just google the substitutions for using self rising flour.
With my adjustments the cake comes out superb every time! It only lasts a day in my house and there’s only 2 of us!
Do not sub anything for the vegetable oil either not even applesauce. You want to be healthier then you shouldn’t be making this cake!
Double the milk to 2 cups and swirl the cinnamon sugar in both layers. Bake an additional 20 minutes after removing foil. Let sit until almost cooled.
Thanks for sharing that 🙂
One of the best coffee cakes I’ve ever tasted. Super easy to make and I already had all of the ingredients on hand. I will be making this again.
That makes my day! Thank you so much for sharing that!
My coffee cake NEVER bakes right. I’ve tried different pans, I’ve tried adding the topping last. It always comes out in a gooey mess. Any tips?
I am sorry, I wish I knew. It’s so hard to know, since I am not there. I’ve never had any problems with this recipe, if you follow it, it should turn out 🙂 Good luck!
Are you using an oven dish 9×13? The batter should be spread out and become very thin. That way it cooks faster. If you have a smaller tray the batter will be thicker and take ages to cook.
This was so easy to make, and it was delicious. My father, who is picky, asked for a second helping and then wanted to take the leftovers home with him. This is a keeper, and I will be making it again!
Well, that makes my day! Thank you so much for letting me know!
This is a good recipe. I baked it for an additional 5 minutes, and the cake turned out good after I let it cool and allow the butter to sink in. When I make this again, I will reduce the amount of sugar and brown sugar in half and use a smaller pan. There was way more brown sugar streusel than cake in each slice, so I need to reduce the ratio. I also prefer a thicker slice of cake, so a smaller pan should do the trick.
Thank you for giving it a try 🙂
I opted to substitute apple sauce for the oil and used the full 1/2 Cup of melted butter. This required an additional 10 minutes baking time and the result was kind of gummy, but good. And the topping was wet when I would have preferred a little crunchiness. Next time I might use half apple sauce and half oil and a lesser amount of butter. Four stars because in spite of my modifications it tasted really good.
Thank you for giving it a try 🙂
Made Christmas morning at 6am.. the kids (3 middle schoolers, they said it smelled like Auntie Ann’s while it was baking! It was super soft and very moist. Tasted very good! I will do this again!!
That’s what I love to hear! Thank you!
I think this was good but almost bland. Super easy to make though
I have made this delicious coffee cake recipe the last two Christmas mornings and everyone loved it!
My family loves this so much! So easy and you always have the ingredients on hand.
I remembered my mom making something like this when I was a kid. I had to try this one. Absolutely perfect!
Which kind of oil do you recommend using?? Thanks 🙂 looks so good!
I use vegetable oil 🙂
Love this coffee cake.
My wife and I are enjoying your coffee cake as I am typing this. I baked it for 30 minutes covered as directed with foil tightly fitted to my glass baking dish. I did extend the uncovered cooking time to 15 minutes. I also rotated the coffee cake halfway through the cooking times. Turned out great!!! Thank you for posting your Mom’s recipe ☺
Thank you for saying that! I am so happy to hear that!
Absolutely delicious and so easy to make.
I am happy to hear that! Thank you!
lovely cake but I will use a smaller pan if I make it again.
I just made it and boy you were right about the batter being thick. I had to sadly make it a single layer coffee cake because I’m just bad and couldn’t figure out half the batter so I put too much batter on the bottom because it didn’t look like enough to me. At 350 degrees 30 mins definitely was not enough. I saw in other reviews they had the same problem. I am also using a glass baking dish. But overall totally delicious!
Delicious coffee cake, but holy sugar batman! This is extremely sweet. It’s as sweet as frosted birthday cake.
Others noted the baking time, but mine baked up perfect as directed, and in a glass pan.
I prefer coffee cakes where the cake part is not sweet (or minimally so, like a pancake) and the streusel is where the sweet comes in. Have you ever cut the sugar in this? If I reduced to 1/4 cup from 1 cup, what else might I add to make up for that volume/texture? Thanks!
Glad you like the cake. I personally have not cut the sugar. You could also try using stevia or something like that.
I make this all the time and I love how easy it is to change the flavor, such as adding apples or switching out half the cinnamon with pumpkin spice seasoning. This is such a delicious recipe I will use it forever!
That makes me so happy to hear!! Thank you for sharing that!!
This is the second time I’ve made this and it is fantastic! It is also so very easy to make! Definitely would recommend to others…
Thanks for saying that!! I am so happy you like it!
Has this been tried with gluten free flour?
I personally have not tried, I’m sorry.
I lost the recipe I had for coffee cake. Looked on internet and found yours. It was great. Thanks
Glad you found this recipe 🙂 Thank you for letting me know!
Wonderful taste and big size for family. Cool time is definitely an issue with me as well. Took over an hour to bake. I thought I maybe messed up the recipe so I made a second batch and same issue -long cook time.
Thank you for trying this recipe!!
I made a vegan version of this cake.I substituted ground flax seed for egg (1T flax seed + 3 T water per egg) and used vegan margarine instead of butter. It came out great. I think that using real eggs would have made a lighter cake, but it was still delicious. Next time I will follow your suggestion of less sugar. Also, I think apple on top would be outstanding.
Sounds perfect!! Thank you so much for sharing that!!
This coffee cake was the best I’ve ever eaten! Moist and flavorful. This is my forever go to coffee cake recipe. And I made it in minutes! I did make 2 alterations that did not take away from the original recipe’s integrity. 1. I added an additional amount of cinnamon, because, CINNAMON! 2. I added a big pinch of kosher salt to the brown sugar & cinnamon to cut some of the sweet.
That is perfect! I am so glad you like it! Thank you for sharing that!
My husband can’t get enough of this coffee Cake!
I have made it three times last month! Now I get to make it again! 🤤🤤
Yay!! Happy to hear that!! Thank you for letting me know!
Kristyn, do you think you could add diced apples on top of this? Thanks
You sure could!
Hi. I just stumbled on your website last night when I was looking for a breakfast coffee cake. So I tried this recipe and it is absolutely amazing. Next time I am going to use 2/3 of the items to make a 9 x 9 cake for just my husband and me. Thank you so much.
You are so welcome! Glad you stumbled on my site 🙂 Thank you!
This recipe was quick and easy! I did have to bake it about 10 mins longer but it cam out light, fluffy and yummy!
Thank you for sharing that 🙂
Wow wow wow! Perfect!
Loved it! But it took over 1 hour to cook! But that was fine since it was very good!! Will repeat!! Thank you!
First off my batter was not thick. I did everything just as written, I’m a seasoned baker but I thought I’d find a recipe that I could put together quickly, I don’t know how everyone else’s baked in the time allotted!!! mine has been in there for 45 minutes and it’s still very wet I’m just hoping it turns out. I usually have great results with most recipes so I love When I read comments like this… it helps with the end result.
Darn, I am sorry. I wish I knew why. I hope it turns out 🙂 Thanks for trying it!
Instead of oil I used sour cream and kept everything else the same. It is delicious!
Very, very good. 👍👏 It satisfied my craving. I’m glad you mentioned that the dough would be thick because I was a tad concerned about that. I added the powdered sugar drizzle too so you sure don’t have to add sugar to your coffee. Glad I found this recipe. 😊
I am glad you found it, too!! Thank you!
How could it NOT BE THICK after adding 3 CUPS OF FLOUR?
Delicious! I added 1 cup of chopped pecans to the streusel. I live at 7,000 feet so cut the baking powder in half and baked it for an extra 5 minutes. It came out perfect!
Perfect! Happy to hear that! Thank you for sharing that!
Best and easiest coffee cake recipe. I made it and it didn’t last a day. Will make often. Thanks
That’s what I love to hear! Thank you for letting me know!
This was the bomb!! Reminded my hubby of his grandma’s coffee cake. I made it in large muffin tins with chopped apple added- yum!
Great idea!! Thank you for sharing that!
Soooo easy and one of families favorites! Easy to whip together at a moment’s notice but looks like I spent the entire morning slaving in the kitchen. Win win! Thank you!!!!
You are welcome!! Thank you for saying that!
five stars!!!!!!!!! SO DELICIOUS!!!!! Everyone in my family loves it!!!!!!!!
Yay!! Happy you think so 🙂 Thank you!
Thank you for sharing recipe for coffee cake.
Glad to share 🙂 Thank you for trying it!
Excellent recipe! My go to for coffee cake!
Yay!! So happy it’s your go-to! Thank you!
I had the same issues as another person who commented. Baking it at 350° for 30 minutes with the foil on and then 10 minutes with the foil off was not enough cooking time. I had to leave it in much longer than instructed. That made the edges around the cake pan very hard and the middle was still a little undercooked. I also think you could cut back on the streusel topping and the butter. The recipe called for more than what is needed.
Best coffee cake recipe I’ve ever made. Fast and easy. Even my husband ate this coffee cake and he has never like coffee cakes ever. This gets more than a 5 star rating.
Yay!! Happy to hear that! Thank you for letting me know!
I’m eating my 2nd piece now lol very good, I used coffee creamer for my milk, coconut oil and for the topping less butter but added coconut so it wouldn’t brown too fast. Baked for about 45-50 mins came out perfect ❤️
That sounds perfect! I will have to try! Thank you!
Thank you so much for such a delicious recipe Kristyn! Loved the moisture and will be baking it next weekend too. I quadrupled the cinnamon for an intense flavour 🙂
Please add an option to convert the ingredients to the metric system if possible.
So glad you liked it! Nothing wrong with adding more cinnamon 🙂 Thank you!
Yummy!!
Happy you think so 🙂 Thank you!
What type of oil does the recipe use?
I uses vegetable oil or you could use canola oil.
This is the best recipe, I will give it a try.
Thank you so much! Hope you like it!
Can I make Cup cakes with this Coffee caje recipe? I am going to visit my grandkids and thought cup cakes FOR BREAKFAST would be fun!
Thank you,
Linda
You know, I have never tried, so I can’t say for sure! One way to find out 🙂 Have fun with your grandkids!
I love this recipe – have made it Many times. I’m curious why you changed the baking instructions to cover with foil?
This was an TOTAL 5 star recipe.
I was looKing for something to eat for breakfast. After getting sick of eating eggs on toast and cereal!
This is an amaZing recipe…
totally recommended
Awe, thank you so much for saying that!! So happy you liked it!
DELICIOUS!!!
Happy you think so 🙂 Thank you for letting me know!
So yummy.
I am so glad you think so 🙂 Thank you!
I used 3 eggs as some had suggested, cooked covered with foil for 30 minutes then uncovered for another 20 minutes checking every five minutes until the butter was soaked in/no liquid laying on the top. Cooked perfectly and delicious! I used slightly under the 1/2 cup butter in the recipe just poured it on the top until it looked like enough!
I am so glad it turned out & you tried it! Thank you for sharing that!
I was deciding between 3 recipes and picked this because it looked quick and simple. I am glad I did. the cake did require an additional 10 minutes as the middle was a little jiggly but could be my oven setting. i did add an extra half cup of milk based on another review. i also added chopped pecans on the the topping. the cake is super moist and so delicious with a cup of coffee. will be my go to recipe moving forward. excited to try other recipes on this site as well. Thank you ~
You are welcome! I am glad you tried it! Thank you!
I want to say this cake was delicious. I made the coffee cake and it turned out perfect. This recipe is super good! I will be making more. I think this will be one of our family’s favorites from now on. Thanks for sharing this amazing one. I love to read more recipes from you. Keep sharing.
Awe, thank you so much for sharing that! I am so happy it was a hit!
This recipe is delicious! Next time i’ll add a little salt in the crumb topping or raspberries in the center because it’s a bit sweet for me, but it’s easy to make and tastes wonderful!
Great idea!! Thanks for sharing that!
IT was trUly easy and good. I prefer the type of STREUSEL that uses flour and softened butter with the CINNAMON and sugar though.
Thank you for giving it a try 🙂
So good!! It tooK me lobger to make sInce its my first time but I’ll definitelY make it again 🙂
I am so glad you gave it a try 🙂 And, even happier you liked it! Thank you 🙂
My coffee cake is in the oven. It smells so good. Cant wait to try it!
I sure hope you like it!! Thank you for trying it!
This coffee cake was The absolute best! And very Easy to make.
I noticed That you changed the Baking direCtions from the last time i made this. Previously it said to bake it uncovered for only 25-30 minutes. The new recipe says to bake it ćovered, then Bake another 10 minutes uncovered????
Bake for 25-30 minutes, then take the foil off & bake an additional 10 min. Glad you liked it!
So simple and so delicious!!!
Looks great! The recipe is quite simple and easy to prepare, added to the menu for this weekend. hope to enjoy the best Coffee Cake with my family. Thanks and good day!
Thank you! Not sure if you tried it yet, but hope you like it!
It’s Moist, Delicious And Perfect For Showers, Breakfast And Holiday Celebrations!
It sure is! Thank you for saying that 🙂
This is the SECOND time I have made this DELICIOUS cAke. The first time, the middle DID not set. The SECOND time around i had to Cook it for another 20 minutes. I know i am not the only one with this problem. I used a glass CAKE pan and wonder if You used glass or metal?
I’ve used both, but yes, glass seems to be longer. You can also increase your oven temp, slightly 🙂
I made this today with the cup4cup gluten free flour and it turned out amazing! 10 stars. My wife and I loved it
Yay! I am glad you shared that! Thank you so much!!
Love it!!!! Made it twice and my son just texted me to send the recipe. Its soooooo yummy!
Yay!! Love that! Thank you so much for saying that!
i added a cup of plain yogurt to this, and i didn’t have vanilla so i used half the amount of almond extract and it came out amazing!!! so fluffy and moist, my mom was shocked that it was from scratch. Super easy too. even my super picky little brother loved it i will definitely be making this again
Thank you for sharing what you did! That sounds perfect!
Love this recipe. It’s perfect for whipping up a quick dessert, or showing up to an occasion with a little something special.
I am so glad you think so 🙂 Thank you so much for letting me know!
Sooo I WAS being DUMB AND DIDN’T THINK TO ADJUST THE BAKE TIME AND TEMP EVEN THOUGH I ONLY HAD A BROWNIE PAN which is much smaller than the pan in the recipe…THE BUTTER POOLED INTO the middle and the middle of the cake sank. I quickly lowered the temp, covered the cake in foil, and put it back in. I had to cook it about 3x as long as the recipe called for but I think I saved it! It’s actually pretty good, perfect to eat with coffee, and way better than any other cake I’ve attempted to make from scratch! (Disclaimer: I’m normally terrible at baking, hence the screw up with the pan size). I’ll definitely attempt this one again once I get the correct pan!
Oh, I am so sorry! I am glad you caught it & fixed it. I hope you do try again. It’s our favorite!
This is one of the easiest and tastiest cakes i have ever baked. It done in a jiffy and is very moist and buttery inspite of having oil in it . I use jaGgery instead of brodn sugar gor the streusel and half cane hakf white sugar for the batter .
Increased cooking time by 15 minutes too .
Absolutely drlicious With Coffee.
Thank you for sharing what you did! That sounds great!
I accidentally mixed butter in with brown sugar and cinnamon. Swirled it in batter. 30 minutes baking, perfect.
Love happy accidents! Thank you 🙂
I used whole wheat flour and stevia. Had to add 5 minutes bake time. Agree that Varying cook times depend on type of pan, oven, plus altitude and weather. Mine turned out perfect. Added fresh rasberries to the top. Thanks for sharing!
You are welcome! Thank you for sharing that! Adding raspberries is a good idea!
Quick and incredibly delicious! Easy to halve the recipe and bake in 8×8.
I am so glad you think so 🙂 Thank you for sharing that!
AMAZING! I made it for the whole family and it was a hit! Thanks for sharing, bookmarked 🙂
Glad it was a hit! Makes me happy to hear! Thank you!
Awesome recipe easily the best coffee cake we have ever had. I added 1/2 cup chopped pecans, 1/4 cup flour, and 1/2 cup softend butter to the streusel and eliminated the melted butter. I also baked it in an 8 x 11 pan so it would be taller (cooking time had to be increased).
Sounds perfect!! Thank you for sharing what you did!
This is amazing…i use vgean butter, coconut milk and vegan egg replacer and i add Chopped pecans to the brown sugar cinnamon STREUSEL. this is my favorite coffee cake recipe!!! Thank you Kristyn. Ive been baking and cOoking And this is a simole amazing recipe!

You are so welcome! Thank you for saying that!!
Ive been trying to find a good alternative to Bisquick coffee cake and this is it! So good! I baked it for around 35 minutes, until it no longer shook in the middle.
So happy you liked it! Thank you for trying it 🙂
This coffe cake really is quick to make. This is a weekend faVorite in our house. Today, i tried replacing the oil with u sweetened applesauce to cut calories and guilt…amazing!
Thank you for sharing what you did! I will have to try that!
can you substite milk for coffee?
I personally have not tried. Not sure you would get the same outcome.
This is the best coffee cake ever. I’ve made it so many times and every time it is amazing. I am wondering how you would adapt it to almond flour or coconut flour?
I love this coffee cake so much, I’ve been making one a week and I live alone! I cut up an apple and fold it in the batter. It’s so moist and delicious! Making another one today.
Great idea about the apple! I am so happy you like it as much as we do 🙂 Thank you so much!
This looks like a Awsome Dessert. Will make it at My Daughters and Let you know how it went. Thank You for Sharing. Susie

This is one of our favorites! Its the only coff cake recipe we use now.
Yay, I love hearing that! Thank you!
I want to know, how long would I need to bake it in a round cake pan.
I haven’t tried making it in a round pan. It is definitely smaller & not sure it will all fit, but it would need a lot more time.
I am not a baker! This recipe was easy and delicious!!! The only thing is I can’t seem to get the crumble on top. Any suggestions?
Glad you liked it! What about the crumble do you need help with?
Made them, turned out great.
You may want to adjust you storage instructions being more specific on thE 3 months Storage. Obviously you mean in the freezer but some people wont get obvious! LOL
Glad it turned out 🙂 Thank you for letting me know!
This is so yummy. It is my go to recipe for sure all the time
Yay..glad it’s your go-to! Thank you!
Delicious….thank For sharing..my HOUSE SMELLS AMAZING TOO
It does make the house smell so good! Thank you for trying it!
usually i don’t bake cakes because for me it’s hard to Spend that much time. Simply put, i don’t have the patience to stay focused for long periodS of time. But this recIpe is easy and quick. It took me less than an hour to bake this perfect cake, My whole family loved this cake. Thank you for the wondsr Recipe
You are so welcome! I am so glad you made it & shared that!
This recipe is amazing!!!!!! I didnt habe REGULAR milk so i substituted tje milk for almond milk. Came out just as delicious!!! Also, keep an eye out for using the 9X13 pan. I Didnt read it well and used a 9X9 pan and it overflowed!! Lol. I will definitely bE baking this again and again
Uh, oh!! Glad you liked the almond milk in it! Thank you!
this is so good! It is very simple and easy to make and it taste DELICIOUS. I HAVE MADE this many times and had no problem.
I am happy to hear that!! Thank you for letting me know 😉
THIS IS SO YUMMY!!!!!!!!! I made this for my niece’s birthday breakfast, and we are both over the moon (luna? :-)! we added chopped pecans to the streusel and a little extra cinnamon to the batter (we love cinnamon), and it came out amazing. based on the other reviews, i added a little extra milk and the batter poured and spread beautifully. I was a little worried because the level of batter was so thin for each of the two layers, but it came out perfectly. just enough batter to hold the streusel layers together. 😀 we baked in a dark metal pan and it was ready in 32 minutes. Thanks for such a fantastic recipe, Kristyn! i’ll definitely be making this again! (and you made my niece very happy on her birthday 🙂
You are so welcome! Thank you so much for sharing all of that! Happy it was a hit!
this recipe perfect and amazing. the cake was sweet, moist and delicious. definitely recommend this recipe a lot and will be making this again in the future. i love the cinnamon sugar flavor with the dense yet fluffy cake. loved it.
Awe, I am so glad!! Thank you!
Thank you for this easy recipe! I’ve made several variations but the original is My favorite! I’ve tried it GF using Pamela’s AP flour, turned out great. Yesterday I made it GF AND dairy free, replacing the melted butter with melted coconut oil. Also turned out great. Trying to accommodate colleague’s dietary restrictions can be challenging so it’s a win when the coffee cake is still delicious with the substitutions! Btw, this has become the new ‘Christmas morning” breakfast for us! Hubby asks for this over and over!
Awesome! Love all the things you’ve tried! Thank you for sharing that!
Amazing recipe!! BeSt coFfee cake ever made. Super delish!!
Awe, thank you!! Happy you think so 🙂
Your recipe is divine! No need to evER look elsewhere for a delicious cInnamon streusel coffee cake!
Awe, thank you so much!! So happy you liked it!
Wow! I thought my wife made great coffee cake aNd she dId! My daughter made this for me for Fathers day! It is the best i havE ever Eaten. She now shared the recipe with me. A great 2020 Fathers Day! Thank you for posting and Sharing. I can’t wait to make your recipe! LJG
Awe, that makes me so happy! Thank you so much! Tell your daughter thank you for trying it, for me 🙂
Your steps are a bit confusing—would love for you to separate the streusel layer ingredients. i goofed and added the 1.5 cups of brown sugar to the cake batter.
I’m sorry that happened. In the instructions, the brown sugar isn’t listed in the cake part, so I’m sorry it got added.
SO GOOD AND SO SIMPLE! I MAKE IT OFTEN!
Glad to hear!! Thanks!
HI i accidentally added a full stick of butter instead of half of it since i halved the recipie is it a big problem?
How did it turn out? I wasn’t sure how that would change the recipe.
it was sure yummy!!
This recipe was SO good and so, so easy to make!!!
I am glad you liked it! Thanks!
Just made the coffe cake and it turned out great!! I used whole wheat flour instead! the kids loved it!!! will DEFINITELY try again!!
This cake was very easy to do,and it stayed nice and most over night,a real big hit! I would suggest this recipe to everyone who wants something quick and easy to make.
That’s so nice of you to say! Thank you so much for sharing that!
Yay!! That makes me so happy to hear! Thank you for letting me know!
WOW! Delicious, easy! I baked mine a little longer as some of the others did. I Used a toothpick to test and when it came out clean removed. I stood over this coffee cake willing it to cool so i could slIce into but realized How crazy i looked and sat down to read. Couldnt stand it any longer and had to try it. Oh my gosh! Tender cake, sweet and chewy corners , almost brownie like edges. Perfection. A keeper for sure!
LOL..love that! Thank you for letting me know 🙂
followed your recipe! And It turned out amazing everyone loved it especially when they ate it with coffee. A perfect recipe to try. Thank you for sharing
Thanks so much! I am glad to share 🙂
my DAUGHTER and i tried to make this today for breakfast. How did You manage to spread the super thick dough on Top of the streusel layer? We had such a DIFFICULT time of it. Hopefully the taste is worth it!
It is thick, but it is spreadable 🙂 I usually use a knife to spread it around. I hope you liked the taste!
Very EASY and simple recipe. Came out exactly as pictured. Very happy with the outcome. Haven’t tasted it yet, but im sure its going to be so good.
So, glad it came out perfectly! I hope you liked the taste! Thank you!
probably the best coffee cake ive ever had and have made it several times!! everyone loves it that i make it for
I am glad they do!! It’s our favorite! Thank you for letting me know!
I literally jUst pulled mine out of the oven and sampled it. It tastes amazing! But i did have some issues (which might be caused by the changes i made), so heres what i did:
– instEad of 1 cup oil, i did 1/2 cup veggie oil and 1/2 cuP apple sauce
– i had to use a circUlar silicon pan, so i think my cake is a bIt thicker than “normal”
– when i melted the butter it looked like wayyyy too much butter, and it was… i used maybe half the AMOUNT Of butter suggested, then after baking for 30 minuteS i had to dab a bunch of butter off with a paper towEl because it was just pooling on top of my cake
– i haD to cook it for maybe 45 minutes because it was still too soft in the center (but maybe this was because of my pan).
Overall its delicious but i RECOMMEND not using that much butter. The apple sauce subsTitUtion tastes great, but i think it makes it a bit moiSt so you might need to cook for longer. 4/5 for these recipe changes, but 5/5 for taste!
Thank you for trying it!
Made this recipe multiple times for my family here in brazil. They love it and its something different for them to eat for breakfast or afternoon coffee.so simple for me to make and everyone loves it!
I am so glad you made it for your family! Happy they all loved it!
This was an easy recipe! I just pulled it out on the 25 min mark, and everything looks Right and The taste is delcious! My oven might be stronger, i will drop it down to 27 next time, bec at 20 the butter still was pooling. Thank you for this recipe!
You are so welcome! So, glad you tried it & liked it! Thank you!
Hi, i was wondering if you coulD subStituTe Non-daiRy Milk? The recipe reads delicious!
I personally haven’t tried, but you sure could. I am not totally sure how that might change the recipe.
This recipe was perfect! Followed the directions to the T and it turned out super yummy! No complaints here at all.
Yay!! That’s what I love hearing! Thank you for trying it & for sharing that!
This recipe is so easy! The cake is so moist and just perfect!
That makes me happy to hear! Thank you so much for saying that 🙂
Love this coffee cake! Had a friend come over for coffee, was looking for a recipe that was easy And used ingredients tHat i already had in my pantry/fridGe, some cofFee cake recipes ask for sour cream or cream cheese, these are not INGREDIENTS i normally have on haNd, so i was pleased when i came across this reciPe that had INGREDIENTS that Were standard in my house…..it was super easy to make, directions easy to follow, and the result was a very flavorful, moist coffeE cake! Huge hit with my friend and my family! Highlt recommend!
Yay!! SO glad it was a hit! Thank you so much for trying it & for sharing that!
The center of the cake is gooey uncooked. Only the edges are perfectly cooked. Should i so Somet Different?
You could possibly turn your oven down a little bit, so you can cook it longer, without burning it.
VERY GOOD! I MADE MINE IN AN 8X12 PAN AND BAKED FOR 40 MIN. I LIKED THe THICKNESS of the cake With smaller pan. I also added walnuts to the streusel for crunch. I DIDN’T need as much of the STREUSEL with the smaller pan, maybe only about half. So good witha cup of joe and very easy to make!
Sounds perfect! Thank you for sharing that!
Ok. So i never post reviews, but I had to!! This coFfee cake is awesome! Its honestly so easy and perfect with a cup of coffee. My whole family loved it! I added some peCans, gave It a nice crunch!! Only thing I had a problem with was the bake time! 30 min wasnt enough, i had to bake it for 42/43 min.
ThAnks For this recipe!
Adding pecans is a great option! I appreciate the review! Thank you so much for leaving one!
Absolutely delicious! Very easy to make. I used fresh CInnamon.
Perfect! So happy you liked it! Thank you for letting me know!
This was just divine! So very easy and so incredibly deliciOus! Thanks for the recipe, it’s a keeper.
Glad it’s a keeper! Thank you for letting me know 🙂
Awesome recipe! it took mine 40 mins to bake all the way through
Thank you for trying the recipe! Glad you liked it 🙂
Recipe is tasty but the baking time is wRong – i had to bake it for about 45 min. Center was liquid at 25.
I love the crunch at the top.
Thanks!
Thank you for trying it 🙂
This was fabulous! I Made it for mother’s day and it was a huge hit. My only issue is that it’s a bit crumbly which makes it difficult to get out of the pan or plate.
Glad you tried it!! Thank you so much 🙂
Have made this recipe many times, and it always a hit. It is very rich, which makes it special..Now I double the recipE and share the extra. You DEFINITELY have a winner in this one, Kristyn. Thanks for sharing.
Awe, thank you so much! That’s so nice of you!
I do not use “oils” to bake with. Do you have any ideas of what I could use in place of the oil? If I were to substitute real butter, I’m sure I would use less than 1 whole cup in this recipe, right? Maybe I could mix butter with coconut oil?? Otherwise, I have no ideas. Help!
I personally have not replaced the oil with another ingredient. I would honestly google what good substitutes would be, because each ingredient may suggest using less of something else & you may have to adjust the recipe.
Fallow your recipe to a T, it came out perfect
I am happy to hear that! Thank you for letting me know!
okay, I made this recipe twice (at the same time) because I have a 15 year old and my hubby who both like coffee cake and I wanted some too LOL!
The first batch I did was really thick…so I didn’t even try to do two layers…I just did one layer, spread it out in the pan, sprinkled the brown sugar/cinnamon mix evenly across the top…then took a spoon and just did rows of melted butter on top.
The second batch I tried to layer it…kind of thin for the layers since the batter is very thick….but I wanted to try it the way it was written too. the 2nd batch i layered with the strussel topping, and then the rest of the batter and then the rest of the top mixture with butter.
Between the two cakes…the first one was the best. The batter will be super thick….so spread out your batter in a 9×13 pan, put the brown sugar mixture over the top, use a spoon and just do rows of melted butter till its all gone. cook at least 30 minutes.
the 2nd cake where i layered like the recipe stated was very very gooey in the middle. my hubby cut out the edge pieces which were essentially cooked….but that left like 6 pieces very gooey…i turned the oven back on and I probably cooked those an additional 15-20 minutes on top of the original 26 minutes…
so my suggestion is to just layer your entire pan with the batter, toppings and cook 30-40 minutes and you should have a perfect cake. (I used glass dishes for both).
This cake is absolutely scrumptious and its in my keep forever pile. Very easy to make and besides the 2nd one being gooey…I knew the first one was tasty/good so its just about finding a way to make it work for you. Try my suggestions and see if that helps the gooeyness. For reference both cakes tasted the same whether it was a solid batter OR layered like listed 🙂
Made this yeSterday and it came out perfect. No changes to the Recipe. Yes the batter is thick but a rubber spatula And a spoon made it very easy to spread the batter out in the diSh. Taste great reheated in the microwave for a few seconds. Thanks for sharing the recipe?
You are so welcome! I am so glad you liked it!! Thank you for saying that!
The batter was super thick. I had to thin it out a lot. It baked well. Next time i will add less brown sugar (very sweet) and less butter too. Otherwise a keeper recipe.
Thank you for trying it!
Loved this recipe. Will be using it again anD again. Thank you
You are so welcome! Happy you liked it!
just made this tonight! So so good! 100% recommend!
Thank you so much for recommending it!! Happy you liked it!
such a great recipe! super easy prep and baked perfect! batter may be dense but defi fills the pan and i didnt need to thin at all!
Thank you so much for letting me know!
I never rate recipes but I just made this (having never made coffee cake in my life) and it turned out SO good. My boyfriend is a self-proclaimed cinnamon-hater and he can’t stop nibbling at it. I baked it for 32 minutes and it looked done to me, but i think two of my middle pieces are a little underbaked. It’s hard to tell if it’s just part of the streusel or the cake itself so I’m letting it cool and then I’ll decide what to do with it. The rest of the cake is baked perfectly and tastes SO good.
I’ve made this recipe a few times now and my fiance and I can not get enough! Thanks for sharing we LOVE IT!
You are so welcome! I am happy you both do! Thank you!
I love this recipe! This was the second time I tried it, and it came out perfectly! I cooked in a glass pan, and so had to adjust the time.
I am so glad you liked it. Thank you for trying it 😉
This coffee cake is soooooooo delicious and easy to make. I was thinking of doubling the recipe to make a bigger and thicker cake. I will post again when I do that.
Glad you liked it! Just make sure you add more time 🙂
My first ever coffee cake! Thank you so much for this lovely recipe! 🙂
This was delicious! We had it for Easter breakfast and my pickiest eater ate more than anyone.
This was a family hit! And I especially loved that all the ingredients are those I always have on hand. Thanks again for sharing your yummy recipes!
This was a great coffee cake for breakfast and for snacks throughout the day! I tried this since I didn’t have bisquick on hand and thats how i usually make it. this was super easy and gobbled up by my kiddos. I did cut out 1/2 cup of the brown sugar and it was still PLENTY sweet! This fed my family of 5 for breakfast twice.
This coffee cake is so yummy! I used whole wheat flour since its all i had, while i do think it altered the texture a bit, it was still good.
I am glad you still liked it! Thank you for sharing that. That’s good to know 🙂
I made this with my teen this weekend and it was sooooo easy! The ingredients are stuff we have on hAnd, the iNstructions were easy to follow and omg the Flavor was AMAZING!! This is definitely a new go-to for us!
Yay!! So happy you both liked it!! Glad you could make it together!!
Just made this and it’s awesome! It baked for 30 minutes and it’s perfect. So easy to put together too. Thanks ?
You are so welcome! Glad you tried it! Thank you!
We love this cake!! My Husband requested It for Our easter Breakfast this year! So easy to make and os DELICIOUS!
Happy he did!! Thank you so much for letting me know!
When i made this recipe, baking time was 40 minutes, and my oven has no problems with heat. At 30 minutes, the cake was just getting baked at tge edges.
Made this yummy coffee cake
Glad you did!! Thank you!
I will DEFINITELY Make this next week. I gave up desserts for lent, so this wOuld be a perfect one to have after weeks of no Sweets ?
Thank you for the recipe! I used to think cofFee cake had coffee in it too! ?
Haha..me too! Hope you like it!
I had been looking for a good coffee cake recipe and this one really takes the cake! It’s easy to make, not dry, and so yummy that I have to try really hard not to eat the whole pan!
Haha..so happy you liked it!! Thank you so much for sharing that!!
a really lovely cake. As others have noted, it’s moist — drizzling melted butter over the batter is a huge factor — using ingredients that are easily on hand. mine took 35-40 min. to bake (i live in ontario Canada).
a great cake to pair with morning coffee!
Thank you for saying that!! I am so happy you tried it & liked it!
We tried it and it was delicious, perhaps a bit too sweet for me, so I’ll cut down on sugar the next time! ?
You definitely could cut it down. Thank you so much!
One of our families faVOrites! Turns out great everytime!
I Used to make coFfee cake with bisquick Until i found this recipe… its Delicious!!! I will never go back to making bisquick coFfee cake again. My whole family loves it. ?
I am so happy your family liked it! And, I am glad you found this recipe. Thank you!
Easy to make and its yummy!!
I am glad you liked it! Thank you for letting me know 🙂
I’ve never made cofee cake before, and i’ve only Tasted it Once…a very long time ago. When my Husband was asking for coffee cake for the last week or two, i didn’t know where to start. Then you posted this recipe on your IG and it was the Perfect timing!
The cake is delicious, and reminds me of a snickerdoodle cookie. (One of my aBsolUte favorite cookies!) MY Whole family loves it, and my husband was pleasAntly surprised i woke up and made this just For him today. This is definitEly a keeper recipe, just like the Others I’ve tried on your site! Thank you!!
Awe, thank you so much for saying that!! It does taste like a snickerdoodle! I am so happy everyone liked it!
Seriously the best coffee cake! Had to make it GF but it worked beautifully with gluten free flours.
Good to know 🙂 Thank you for sharing that!
Delicious! Not dried out tasting like some coffee cake reciPes.
Happy you liked it! Thank you so much!
This was a Really quick and easy recipe! Batter was a littlE thick, but otherwise, delicious! I added walnuts to half. Yum! Thank yOu for sharing!
You are so welcome!! Adding walnuts is perfect! Thank you!
Mine just came out if the oven! Oh my! So Good! Thank you for the recipe.
You are very welcome!! Warm coffee cake is my favorite!
The best coffee cake. Perfect fOr holidays or anyday! We love it!
Yes, we love it all year! Thank you!
Working late: Been working from home – had to step away and stumbled on this gem !! Ty !!
You are welcome! I am glad you stumbled across it 🙂 Hope you like it!
This was really good. I needed a coffee cake in under an hour and this delivered. my only complaint is that prep time is listed as 5 min. takes me 5 minutes just to get the ingredients out. 😉
Oh, I am sorry..I should add a few min for getting things out. Thank you though for trying this. Glad you liked it!
So many comments about taking longer to bake makes me wonder if people are not pre-heating their ovens since it is not mentioned in the instructions. Would make a world of difference especially with a cool glass pan being used!
What kind of pan should I use? I see comments about a glass pan not working as well. What should I do different with a glass pan? It’s the only kind I have.
I use glass & have no issues 🙂
I made this recipe yesterday and it was an absolute hit! Everything about was great! I substituted sugar for monk fruit Sweetener and reduced it to 3/4 cup as I believe it is sweeter than regular sugar. The dough is super thick but i was able to spread it. Family loved it and I will definitely make it many more times!!! Thank you!
You are so welcome! I am glad you tried it! Thank you for letting me know 🙂
This was so good!!!! Oh so good!!! I made the mistake of baking it in a casserole dish. So it took an extra 20 minutes. Now my house smells amazing and my wife and kids already have breakfast made. I’m going to make this again as soon as we are able to go back to temple…. I’m going to check out some more of you stuff too! Thanks again,
Scott
Awe, thank you so much for saying that!! I am so glad it was a hit! I hope you find some more yummy recipes to try!
It a great recipe and it tastes delicious. It does take much longer to bake in a convect oven vs. conventional (at least double the time). If your oven has double setting I hig sugge using conventio for this recipe.
Glad you liked it! Thank you for sharing that!
Can you make half a recipe and put in 8 x 8 pan?
I personally have not, but, yes you can 🙂
Hi Krystyn, LOve this recipe! We moved from the states to Croatia and there is nothing like this on our island. Made is for my husband two weeks ago and he loved it. Making it tomorrow morning to take to coffee hour at a friend’s house. It will be warm and fragrant when I carry it into her house. thank you for the recipe…it is t great recipe!
A coffee cake not having any coffee ingredient, now that got my attention. I’m looking forward to trying out this quick and delicious cake and enjoying it with my Rasa coffee.
I hope you do try it & like it! It is my favorite 🙂
It’s a huge hit! I’ve made this 4 times now. The first time i only had olive oil, i didn’t like it that much, but my son who doesn’t care for sweet things loved it. the pan was emptied with no problem. the second time i made it i took it to work on the weekend for all to enjoy. another big hit. so many thank yous. I just made again yesterday and though it is very sweet, i brought home another empty pan. now today I made it again with a bit less sugar and am taking it to work for my lab crew to enjoy. Great recipe! Thank you for sharing it.
You are so welcome! Sounds like you are sharing it with many people, so thank you! Glad you like it!
Your recipe looks yummy. I tried it out and it came out beautifully, not too sweet and very easy to make. I used Baileys Original Coffee. Thank you for the recipe
You are so welcome! I am so glad you liked it! It’s a go-to around here 🙂
Mine came out beautifully , not too sweet and very easy to make. Thank you for the recipe ?
You are so welcome!! So happy it turned out! Thank you!
I just made this And it’s amazing. I wIll nEver buy coffee cake aGain. THe butter and STREUSEL CARAMELIZE around the edngeS and in the Nooks. I made the recIpe eXactly as WRITTEN (always do) and this will be a staple for me when i haVe guests! Thank you for Sharing this recipe! Xoxo
You are so welcome!! Thank, thank you for sharing that!
I mixed the melted butter with the brown sugar and cinnamon. After spreading half the batter in the PAN, I swirled in half of the streusel. Then I layered the remaining batter and swirled in the remaining streusel. After it cooled I mixed 1 cup of powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons milk fOR a glaze. It was delicious. Great brunch dish.
Sounds perfect! Thank you for sharing that with me. So happy you liked it!
I made this coffee cake yesterDay, substituting unsweetened applesauce for the oil. I did not Have baking powder so i used cream of tartar aNd baking soda. Everyone said it was the best coffee cake they have ever had!
Oh, I love to hear that!! Thank you for sharing what you did!! Glad it was a hit 🙂
In the oven now. Exact recipe but no way did i have enough batter to spread across a 9×13 pan. some spots are empty or extremely thin. I look forward to seeing the result.
So, how’d it turn out?
very good but I will cut down on butter because it was really mushy in center after an extra 5 minutes.
Hi ?? i want to try this recipe this weekend! But i just want to make sure i Follow exactly What you do. I know the correct way to meAsure flour is to scoop and level but a lot of other bakers i follow Do not do it that way. I dont want to pUt too little or too much floUr. What method do you use to measure out the flour. Thank you in advnce.
Honestly, I put my cup in there & fill it, then give it a little shake, so that’s it’s level & that’s it. I bet it will turn out great! Good luck!
This is my go to holiday coffeecake recipe. I even add nuts sometimes to the brown sugar layers. It’s very rich and decadent and everyone loves it. If I have a large get together I know I have to make 2.
It’s our favorite for gatherings! Adding nuts is a great option! Thank you so much!
This was so easy to make aBsolutely delicious! My husband and kids are already requesting i make it again!
We make it frequently! Love that they liked it that much! Thank you!
I have tried making coffee cakes myself before, but trust me your’s taste way better than mine. vanilla and cinnamon did the magic for me, Thank you so much, Kristyn!!!
You are so welcome! I am do happy that you tried this & liked it. Thank you for sharing that!
I love this recipe! I was wondering if I could add blueberries?
You sure could 🙂 Enjoy!!
Really good! Used gluten free flour. Will make again!
Great!! So glad you liked it!! Thank you!
Can i make this using a bundt pant?
I have not personally tried, but possibly 🙂
First, i dont love that people give it less stars because their oven didnt cook it in the time you suggested. I had the saMe problem, it needed much more time than 30 minUtes in my oven. And although i was disappointed after 30 minutes that i couldnt stuff my face yet, it doesnt change how It tastes, etc. it needed more like 50-55 minutes. It tastes delicious, nice texture, i wasnt sure about Putting melted butter on it, i usually do dollups and they melt into it. But it definitely adds to the flaVor. Thanks for the recipe!
You are so welcome!! Thank you so much for sharing that!! I appreciate it!
Best coffee cake ever
Glad you think so! We love it! Thank you for letting me know!
Try this recipie
Thank you so much!!
Thank you. I have been looking for a perfect c pi COFFEE cake recipe.
You are so welcome! I hope you like it, as much as we do! It’s our favorite!
soooo good! I did have to bake for 35 minutes but I usually have to add some time with the oven i have. will make again!
I am so happy to hear that! Thank you for sharing that!
I just made it, is DELICIOUS.A bit to sweet for ME.Thank you. So easy.
Thank you for trying it & letting me know! You can always adjust the cinnamon/sugar, it it’s too sweet.
This was yummy! Thank you for sharing this recipe. As with other coffee cake recipes i haVe tried the batter is Thick and difficult to spread as a third layer. The Sugar sprinkle allows the batter to move when attEmpting to spread it and iT makes for a time consuming step i wish could be solved. Too bad you left out that process in the Video. I assumed you DOLLOPED piEces of batter on the sugar Layer and attempted with spoons and fingers to get a complete laYer to form. I would love to see a Video or side note explaining how to spread that third LaYer in the coffee cake.
I did dollop it on, then spread it as best as I could. It doesn’t have to be perfectly spread 🙂
I halved it, used my small pyrex dish, 7x 5×1.6 and it rose just a bit above. There was a bit too much sugar for my tastes… so I just scraped some of the streusel off. it is fragrant and delicious. I will definitely make this again.
Yay!! Thank you for letting me know that!! Glad it turned out 🙂
This was a good recipe, cake turned out pretty well. I cooked cake for the suggested time, but the top was too liquidy so I ended up cooking the cake for too long. For me, I would use about half the butter and cook as directed.
Tastes great with ice cream!
Thank you for giving it a try 🙂
I never take the time to comment on recipes, but I had to let somebody know how great this recipe was! My son requested coffee cake for breakfast when going to bed last night, so when I woke up this morning, in my not-quite-yet-caffeinated state.. I googled “quick coffee cake no cake mix” lol. This was the first recipe that came up, and looked quite simple. The time shown for making it also had me interested. Anyways, I had the ingredients mixed before my oven had a chance to finish preheating (which is just not something that happens), and it was perfectly done after 30 minutes. The taste and texture are simple, yet delicious. I was shocked, just because obviously there are some much more complicated recipes for coffee cake.. but I will be coming back to this one again and again! Thank you so much for sharing! ?
Thank you so much for sharing that!! I am so glad you gave it a try 🙂 It really is a simple & great recipe.
EASY & Excellent! I did swirl instead of layer the cinnamon sugar and baked it for 35 minutes. (I live at high altitude so added the standard 2 tablespoons of flour to the dry ingredients.) It smells mouthwatering and looks pillowy. The cake is so moist and delicious! I will absolutely be adding this to the rotation! Thank You! ?
I am so glad you tried it! Thank you so much for sharing that! It’s our favorite!
Everyone loved this easy cake! Can’t wait to try it gluten free!
Thanks so much for sharing!
You are so welcome. I am glad to share! Glad everyone loved it!
Where is the strusel receipe????
Sprinkle half of streusel on top of the batter. Top with remaining batter and then sprinkle the remaining streusel on top.
It’s in the listed ingredients. It’s combining the brown sugar & cinnamon (step 4).
I love your recipe! It is so delicious and easy to make! I Changed the cup of oil to a cup of melted butter, but I do that on all recipes. For some reason anything more than a tablespoon of oil, and that’s all I can taste. Thank you!
Sounds great! Thank you for sharing that!!
Made this on a whim! So delicious! Made it with the melted butter on top, next time will try with the glaze.
Perfect!! Glad you liked it! Thank you!
Thanks for sharing this cake recipe with us!
You are so welcome! I am glad to share 🙂
Made this recipe for the family. It got a 5 star rating. Made an inadvertant deviation from recipe using 3 eggs instead of 2. Maybe made cake richer? Also drizzle More butter over both layers. Our family loves butter.
LOL..who doesn’t love butter?! Sounds perfect!! Thank you for letting me know!
how come this is such a pain to get a copy of a recipe?
It shouldn’t be. I have a PIN & print option 🙂
I love your recipes blog
Awe, thank you so much!!
Not sure on the taste yet, but my sister has been wanting me to get her 1 of those little hostess ones but they have been out so as a surprise tonight I’m making her one. 16. Minutes left and I get to surprise her. She has a broken ankle that just had surgery. She can’t put any weight on it so she is pretty much bed bound.. Yay!! Surprise ??
Poor thing!! That doesn’t sound fun! I sure hope it cheers her up 🙂
I awoke this morning to the smell of cinnamon and walked downstairs to the kitchen to find that my husband had baked this amazing coffee cake for me. He has made several different coffee cakes but this, by far, is the absolute best. this recipe will replace any others! the moisture is incredible and the cinnamon/sugar ratio is perfect!
What a nice treat to wake up to! Tell him thank you for trying it! Glad you liked it!
Absolutely delicious! It’s tender, flavorFul and sooo buttery. Everyone at our house loves it.
I am glad to hear!! Thank you so much for letting me know 🙂
I’m a novice baker and i found this recipe fool proof 😉 i substituted coconut oil for the regular canola oil i usually use, and the texture and flavor of the cake came out amazing.
Thank you so much for sharing that! I am glad it turned out!
Served at our homeowners meeting and added coconut flakes and chopped walnuts. EVERYONE was impressed. all GUYS SO NO ONE ASKED FOR THE RECIPE. WILL MAKE IT AGAIN TOMORROW . THANKS
Great additions! Thank you for sharing!!
So delicious and very easy to make! I am a novice baker and I had no problems making this cake! Even brought it to work for my co-workers to finish so that I wouldn’t eat it all myself! It was a huge hit! i’m going home with an empty cake pan!
Yay..that’s the best! Thank you so much!
Hi there,
well i made this coffee cake for mothers day yesterday. it was a great hit. everyone asked for the recipe.
thanks for the great recipes.
Yay! That makes me so happy to hear that! Thank you for trying it & for sharing it!
I really Enjoyed the coffee Cake. 30 minutes Was absolutely perfect for my oven. It came out Just right. The batter Was thick, but that just resulted in me mixing The layers up before placing on the final toppings. It turned out delicious.
I am so glad to hear that!! Thank you for sharing that!
Thanks so much for the recipe.
I did it and it was awesome.
I WISH could do more than just 5 STARS.
???
Grace
You are so nice! Thank you, thank you 🙂
Hi Kristyn! I am fascinated by the picture that accompanies this recipe – that little square almost looks like it was scored (similar to bread dough) to produce that diamond-shape in the middle! how did you ladies achieve that effect?
LOL..just luck, I guess 🙂 Thank you so much!
The bomb dot com So good!!! Thank you!!
LOL!! Glad you think so 🙂 Thank you so much!
PErfeCt! I’m going to use raisins next time and add some white frosting on top!
That would be yum! Glad you liked it!
kristyn this coffee cake recipe is easy and tasty.im retired and making homemade instead of store bought stale cakes.my son works from home a few days a week so he can have home made instead of fast food.we wanted to save for the morning but had a tassty piece after dinner.we will enjoy in the morning too.thanks
I am so glad you tried it & liked it! Thank you so much for letting me know that! This coffee cake is great all day long 🙂
Really awesome! Substituted almond kilk since its all i had, and still came out great! Also, added walnuts! Mmm mmm!! Thank you!!!
Perfect! Thank you for sharing what you did! Glad it turned out!
EASY AND AMAZING!!!
So glad you think so!! Thank you!
So fast and Easy! Will be making it again soon. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for trying it!! Glad you liked it!
I wonder if this could be made ahead and kept in the fridge to pop in the oven in the morning.
It should be ok 🙂 I personally haven’t tried, but I am thinking it should be good!
This Is a delicious recipe. We added about 1 cup of pecans to the topping to add Some crunch and nutty flavor.
Perfect!! Thank you for sharing that!
I made it this morning. My husband loved it. I did not change the recipe at all. I will cut back on the brown sugar next time. I found it to be a little too sweet. Great recipe
Thank you for trying it & for letting me know! I am so glad he liked it!!
This is the best coffee cake ever! Everyone loves it and it is so easy to make!
I am so glad you think so!! Thank you so much!
I plan on making one and take it to work when it is my turn to bring friday breakfast treats. however i don’t have time in the morning. can i bake it the night before and warm it up in the microwave at work? should i back it in the oven to 90% done so it won’t become hard when i warm it up? what is the best way to go about it?
It should be ok to bake all the way, then heat up. Sometimes, I cover with a paper towel..it helps to keep soft.
Does anyone know if you can cook this in bunt pan
I personally have not tried.
How much honey shall i use if I use honey as a substitute to sugar? and does that make the cake softer or something?
This turned out delicious! It was crisp and crumbly on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. My only problem was that I am a child and fairly inexperienced in baking, so when I saw oil I was not really sure what kind of oil to use. Canola oil worked well, but I think it would be a good idea to state specifically what kind of oil. Oh, and I used brown sugar instead of white sugar. anyway, it turned out great! Thank you!
I am so glad you liked it & tried it! Usually, when you see the word oil, it’s vegetable oil, unless otherwise stated 🙂 But, I am glad you improvised!
Excellent! everyone loved it. I also accidentally put in an extra 1/4 cup sugar and it was still great.
Yay!! I am glad it turned out! Thank you 🙂
i MADE THIS YESTERDAY FOR AN OCCASION AND GOT NOTHING BUT COMPLIMENTS, WILL DEFINITELY PIN THIS. i USED A BIT LESS SUGAR AND PUT CHERRY PIE FILLING IN THE MIDDLE. yUM.
That makes me so happy to hear! Thank you for sharing it 🙂
This is one if the best coffeecake recipes i’ve ever made. Fast, easy, and absolutely delicious. My husband went nuts over it, said i can make this one anytimE. Thank you for sharing.
I am so glad to share!! Thank you so much for letting me know!
Fabulous! It tastes just like the coffee cake my Mom used to make!!
I have a gas oven and needed to bake it for 42 minutes.
Thanks so much for bringing me back to wonderful memories growing up!
I am glad I could 🙂 Thank you for letting me know!
This is easy to make with ingredients easily available. A winner!
Thank you so much for saying that!
I added nuts and heath bar bits
To struesel. Delucious and easy
Great idea!! I will have to try 🙂 Thank you!
I’ve been on a health challenge for five weeks and today is my “cheat day.” This recipe is what I “cheated” with!! In fact, I’m having my second piece right now with a cup of coffee. I had no problems with the batter at all. My family agrees: this recipe made it to the “make-again” category.
Yay!! That makes me so happy to hear! It’s a good recipe for cheat day! Thank you!
I’M ATTEMPTING THIS RECIPE NOW IN A GLUTEN FREE VERSION…. MY BATTER WAS MORE DOUGHY THEN IT SHOULD BE BUT I’M HOPING THE TASTE FACTOR COMES THROUGH…. I’VE MADE THIS VERSION NON GLUTEN FREE AND IT TURNED OUT AMAZING….
I sure hope it does! Let me know!
I love your recipes,it that so flour or self rising
Flour 🙂 Thank you so much!!
Made this recipe for famIly and friends over the weekend. Everyone loved it and asked for the recipe. Thanks for posting sUch a delicious cake recipe that is very easy to make!
You are so welcome!! I am so glad it was a hit! Thank you for sharing the recipe 🙂
This turned out so well!! I’ve made this recipe twice now and my cake has turned out perfect each time. thank you so much!!!!!!!
I love to hear that!! Thank you!
agree with others that the batter was very thick. “Spread” would be a better description of what you have to do to get it in the pan! BUT… This Recipe really saved me in a pinch when my husband told me on sunday morning we needed to take breakfast with us to share with our sunday school class. mine turned out just like the picture which is rare.
in the future, i would make sure to use unsalted butter on top because i thought it was really salty. no one else seemed to mind and it got eaten right up!
Thank you for sharing that!
I’m the chief cook, baker and dishwas in the home. I’m alwaYs looking for new things to make. Found this recipe and it was so good i made it twice in a row. But i get bored easily so then made a differenT coffee cake.
BoY, did i hear it from my wife! “Why did you change? I really liked that other one…”
#3 is just getting done in the oven now.
Sigh….
It is very yummy!
Sorry! Something strange is going on when i Typed my comment. Of course i meant to type “dishwasher” and i have no explanation for the rogue capitalizations.
One other thing: I also added some chopped nuts (about 1/2 cup?) and about a tablespoon of flour to the cinnamon mixture. I also added more cinnamon than in the recipe because like cheese and garlic, who measures?
LOL!! Love to hear that!! Thank you for sharing what you did 🙂 Glad she likes it!
i wanted to post my EXPERIENCE with this recipe since at first I didn’t think it would work. Once the dough was mixed it was very thick. So thick that i was convinced i hadn’t added the milk but when i looked at the measuring cup i saw milk so I confirmed i had. the recipe said “pour the dough” but i had to spread it with a spoon. it was so thick that i could not spread it well in a larger pan, so i used a 9×9″. also i was out of cinnamon so i used apple pie spice. due to smaller size pan i did not use all the streusal topping but poured all the melted butter on top. it appeared to be pooling as some readers commented but i put it in the oven and expected poor results. amazing! it turned out perfectly. i was taking it to a meeting and the people loved it. my reason for posting is to reassure anyone who has the same EXPERIENCES that mine turned out great. i would DESCRIBE this as a “dump cake” recipe — very easy and the flavors and textures are good.
Thank you so much for sharing that, Janet!! Apple pie spice sounds good! I am so glad it turned out!
This coffee cake was delicious. It was a bit thick to pour half batter into pan, top, then add the second day half- but it Came out moist and scruptious. Will make again. THANKS!
I am so glad to hear that!! Thank you for trying it & for letting me know 🙂
I’m another kitchen dweller, but six kids! Oh my i can only imagine! Enjoy your posts!
It can be crazy, but fun 🙂 Thank you so much!!
Loved it! easy to make and so delicious.
Thank you for sharing that! Glad you liked it!
Absolutely delicious, easy and had everything on hand! While making the recipe I wasn’t paying attention and used a loaf pan by accident instead of a 9×13. Needless to say, I found myself questioning the amount of butter used for “drizzling” as it was more like a butter lake. As if that wasn’t enough to double check the recipe, I looked in on my coffee cake at the 25 and 30 min mark and it was still well under done. Once my brain finally kicked in I vaguely remembered seeing “9×13” at some point and re-read the recipe. Oops! I scooped out a lot of my butter lake realizing the drizzle for a 9×13 isn’t quite what one needs for a loaf pan. 1 hour into cooking it still wasn’t set. I covered the top with foil since the streusel was on the verge of burning and another 15-20 mins later it was ready. After a short semi-cooling period both in the pan and out of the pan my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this! Like for real, it’s great. I will never look for another coffee cake recipe. My husband and I ate our cake with coffee, as you do, and I’m thinking back at my snafus…maybe I should have had some coffee before making the recipe as well. 😉 Bottom line: if you accidentally (or purposely) use a loaf pan, you won’t be disappointed. It’s amazing. Just recommend using (at most) half the butter, keep an eye on your topping in the oven and don’t expect to eat it anytime soon. Thanks for the recipe Lil’ Luna!
LOL…well, that is good to know! I am so glad you both liked it!! Thank you so much for sharing that!
Delicious, Delicious, Delicious!!!
My kids and I just made this!! It is sooooo good and moist. We did have to cook it about 30-35 mins but we have a gas stove so maybe that makes a difference. I just kept checking it with a knife in the center. Love this recipe ?
Thank you so much for sharing that!! I am so happy to hear it was a hit 🙂
Found this recipe by googling “easy coffee cake,” as I’m not much of a baker, but am sick of the supermarket’s substandard bakery offerings. I loved how this only required ingredients I already had on hand, and I didn’t have to break out the mixer or do anything fancy. Like many other posters, I found I had to cook this a little longer to get done in the center (I took mine out at 31 minutes, and it maybe could have gone a minute or two longer).
Definitely a keeper of a recipe; I’m going to try some of the fruit versions i see in the comments–this seems infinitely adaptable. I also love that your mother made this for you when you came back from summer camp–what a lovely and loving thing to do. I also love how patient and kind you are with comments asking about something you’ve already covered in your original blog post. Thank you (and my husband thanks you) for this great recipe!
I am so glad you found it & tried it!! Thank you so much for sharing that. Glad you like it!
This looks so moist and Delicious! My daughter saw the video and wants to make it! I can’t wait to try it! I love your recipes!
Would this recipe work to Prepare aHead of time and refrigerate before baking?
I haven’t tried, but it should 🙂
Just made this and it was a hit with my family. I just added 5 minutes to the baking time based on some reviews. Looking forward to making this again for my coworkers.
I am so happy to hear that! Thank you for sharing that!
Turned out amazing!! Everyone loved it! Gonna try the cinnamon roll cake next! Thank you!
Yay!! Glad to hear! Thank you so much!!
This coffee cake is so amazing!!! My family loved it!
My mom always called this breakfast cake and i was always excited to wake up and find it waiting. Your recipe rivals hers and Is a new favorite.
This looks incredibly delicious! This couldn’t look any more perfect!
Wow this is yummy! We all loved it!
Oh how i wish i had a slice of this coffee cake! Looks so good.
Coffee Cake is one of my favorite desserts/breakfast!!! Can’t wait to make this one!
One of mine too!! I sure hope you like it!
The way to my heart is breakfast pastries. This was one of the best coffee cakes I’ve had!
I love this coffee cake!! We made it over the holidays & it turned out so soft & had the perfect amount of cinnamon flavor..it was a hit!
This didnt really work out for me and i dont know why! I followed everything to a T but the margerine pooled in the center while bakIng and it took over an hour to get it baked enough to consume:( you bet i Ate it anyways and it tasted amazing, ill have to try this one again with less margerine i think.
You could definitely try less & see. I am glad you still liked it!
My favorite coffee cake recipe! I love the buttery, brown sugar taSte of this cake. Its just one of the best.
Very easy to make, impressed my in-laws, one of whom has a sweet tooth while the other prefers less sugar. This cake was/is perfect and so simple to make. I didn’t have margarine so used butter instead.
Oh, that makes me happy to hear..that is please everyone 🙂 Thank you for letting me know!
Made This coffeecake over the holidays and everyone loved it, even people who need chocolate chips in everthing said this was a keeper!
LOL.. I love to hear that!! Thank you so much!
Hi, thanks for the recipe. 🙂 It turned out pretty nice. I halved it and used a 9×9 pan at 350F. cake is nice and moist but baked after 27 mins.
I just wanted to write in for others to know that an alternate way to make the streusel is to add in some flour to the dry mix. and then mix in softened butter until it is coarsely mixed (but not dough). my streusel topping is too crunchy/flat for me and a bit too sweet. You can also add a little salt. i think i will use this recipe but try the streusel that way next time to try to get it more crumbly. Using melted butter this way might work better if you put it into the streusel mix before topping? not sure.
I am glad it turned out 🙂 Thank you for sharing that!
So I made this per the recipe… It looked pretty mushy after 30 minutes in the oven, so i kept it in another 10 after draining most of the butter that was sitting on top. I wanted to be a little “extra” so I put it on a low broil for maybe, IF EVEN, 2 minutes, so it would crisp up the sogginess in the middle. It actually looks great. I won’t be serving until tomorrow… I wanted the cinnamon flavor to really set in. I will update after it’s consumed. I’m positive it will taste good! It smells fabulous! I’m mostly Just curious about the moisture factor! 🙂
Thank you for sharing that 🙂 I sure hope it’s a hit. Let me know!
I have baked for the full 30 minutes and the batter still is very wet. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I think it is from all the butter drizzled on top. What should I do????
I am sorry 🙁 How did it turn out? It’s ok, if it’s longer than the recipe, since all ovens are different, baking times could be different too.
Already addicted! So yummy!
Yay!! I’m glad 🙂 Thank you so much!
This Coffee cake looks so good! i can’t wait to try it!
What cOnsistency shoUld The batter be? I followed the recipe exactly and it seems to have come out too thick. I used the right meThod to measure The flour.
It is a little thicker, than like cake. It’s not runny, but you should be able to spread it 🙂 Hope that helps 🙂
I’ve made it twiCE AND IT TURNED OUT GREAT BOTH TIMES! I WOULD DEFINITELY PLAN ON BAKING IT FOR, AT LEAST, ANOTHER 10 MINUTES.
I agree….I put it in for the full 30 and it was still too runny!
Great recipe, Thanks and God speed.
Thank you so much for letting me know 🙂
So delicious! Coffee cake is one of favorites – and this one with the cinnamon swirl is definitely a keeper!
Totally making this for Christmas morning!
Yay!! Hope it’s a hit!
This is a favorite at our house! It’s so simple, but oh so tasty. We love it with scrambled eggs and a smoothie. Yum!
As a member of several groups that meet over coffee, we are always on the hunt for good, easy recipes to share. This will be vanishing from the table soon 🙂
Thank you so much! I hope it does!
Maybe I am doing something wrong, but the amount of batter is not enough for a 9×13 pan. It’s a thick batter too, so spreading it on top of the streusel layer is quite challenging. Will need to make another bowl of batter.
It should be enough. Yes, it is a little thicker, so it’s ok to have the streusel not completely covering the layer. I hope it works out.
Hi there, about to make the cake, but I’m confused. Do I put 1 2/2 cups sugar in the batter? Then how much more sugar do I use for the streudal topping? Thanks!
The batter is 1 cup of sugar & the streusel is cinnamon & 1 1/2 cup of brown sugar. Hope that helps 😉
Easy coffee cake it is so delicious I will make it often
Yay! I am glad to hear that! Thank you so much for letting me know!
So I made this this morning. I saw all the comments about how thick the batter was and how the butter pooled on top. All true. I had my reservations. baked it for 30 minutes until it was browning around the edges. The streusel on top isn’t like your typical crumb topping – so it’s not as pretty. I was surprised how much it rose, no doubt due to the three tsp baking powder. And I like the cinnamon sugar in the cake itself. Decided to try a piece while it was warm. Then another. Then a third. Yeah, this is a tasty cake – nice and light and not too sweet. i’ll try to save the rest for breakfasts. thanks.
THis came TOGETHER quickly with staple items i had in my pantry and the texture and flavor is pure perfection. DElicious and tastes like a bakery product.
I am so glad to hear that!! Thank you so much for letting me know!
I LOVE IT. I’m totally going to have to try it soon!
Hope you do 🙂
It’s in the oven.
I love your recipes, not only are the yummy, but I enjoy your sites I actually Find everything I’m looking for thank you
Awe, thank you so much for saying that!! That’s so nice! I am glad you do!
Truly the best coffee cake you can make. So simple and easy to make. You’ll never want to try another recipe!
Made this for ThaNksgiviNg morning. It was amazIng!!! Had to nearly double the baking tIme, And i Ended up wrappiNg Wet dishcloths Around the pan so the sides didn’t overcook.
So, glad you liked it! This is one of our favorites! Thank you so much!
All 3 of my adult “kids” decided to Come home and spend the night. As I wondered what to make for breakfast the next morning, I found this RECIPE. I had all the ingredients on hand and decided to give it a shot! I Cut the melted butter down to 1/4 cup and drizzled the cake with powdered sugar icing. Very moist. Easy, and delicious!
Oh, I bet that was a fun treat to have them home! Thank you for trying this!! I am so glad you liked it!
Made this for the first time last year and everyone loved it. My oldest son, 33, asked for it as a Christmas present lol. So yes that was one of his presents! Now making for Thanksgiving!
LOL!! That’s awesome! Thank you so much!
How is This A coffee cake with out any coffee?
WHat are the adjustments for high altitude baKing for This easy coffee cake? i am at 9,000 ft.
Can I use sOy milk in this recipe?
I personally haven’t tried. It will probably change it a bit, but can’t tell you exactly, since I have not tried.
I was wondering if this could be made the night before and baked the next morning?
I have not tried, but it should be ok. I hope you like it!!
This was so easy to make. Everyone loves it. This will be my new coffee cake recipe from now on.
Yay!! Love to hear that! Thank you so much!
Just made this it came ouT great, deliciousness,
Yay!! I am glad it did! Thank you!
I made This cake this morning and let Me start off by saying that my entire house smelled so delicious. Had a piece after it cooled Down a bit and OMG, it was scrumptious! I will definitely store this recipe in a safe place and use it FOr years to come. Thank you for sharing your recipe.
You are so welcome!! I am so glad you liked it!! Thank you for letting me know!
It’s absolutely perfect!!! Besides being DELICIOUS, it’s also foolproof.
Thank you so much for sharing that!!
I just need to clarify: You mix the butter with the Brown sugar and cinnamon?
4) In a medium bowl, prepare streusel by combining brown sugar and cinnamon.
5) Sprinkle half of streusel on top of the batter. Top with remaining batter and then sprinkle the remaining streusel on top.
No, you sprinkle half the streusel on top of half the batter, then pour remaining batter on top, then sprinkle the rest of the streusel & drizzle melted butter over the top. Hope that makes sense 🙂 Hope you like it!
I have made this recipe many many times it is so awesome. easy and super tasty.
I had misplaced my recipe and found was so happy every year for Oct
ober and novemberi make this great recipe.
Oh, thank you for saying that!! It is super easy & one of our favorites!
For the people who comment that it has no coffee in the coffee cake that’s because coffee cake was originally made to be eaten with your coffee. It does not traditionally have any coffee in it.
Thanks Sally!
So easy!!! My kitchen smells like Christmas!!! Thank you!!!
Best smell ever!! Thank you so much!!
THIs had good flavor but I had to bake it longer to get it done and ended up BEing on the crumbly/dryer side but still tasted good. It probably baked more like 35-40 minutes because it was still wet in the middle. It was tasty though
Thank you for trying it. Yes, all cooking times will vary, depending on ovens, but I am glad you liked the taste!
Girl…I honestly never give reviews on recipes or leave comments….but I made this tonight and added chopped apples to the batter. It is so. Freaking. Good. Thanks so much for bringing this into my life. ❤
WOW!! Thank you so much for leaving a review 🙂 I am so glad you liked it & I’ll have to try adding apples!
Made this last night. When I tried it warm out of the oven, I thought it was good but maybe needed a little something. After trying another piece this morning though after letting it sit overnight, I must say it is a pretty darn perfect coffee cake! Moist, buttery, cinnamony. Reminds me of the little cinnamon streusel cakes that I love so much! Look forward to experimenting by adding something like orange or maple extract to the batter, and putting almonds or pecans in the middle or sprinkled on top, just to mix things up. This is a great base recipe for anything you might like to try, and perfectly delicious just the way it is. I do a lot of baking and almost never take the time to leave a review, but this one deserves it! Love this recipe! Thanks so much for sharing :)))
Thank you so much for leaving a comment 🙂 I appreciate it! Yes, you can add all kinds of things, that’s what I love! Thank you for trying it & letting me know!
While my whole family agreed this recipe was delicious, everyone felt sick after just one brownie-sized piece. If you struggle with intensely sweet things for breakfast, I’d recommend halving the brown sugar, butter and slightly reducing the oil and white sugar.
Absolutely a delicious coffee cake, but this is more dessert than breakfast.
Thanks so much for trying it. I am glad your family likes it 🙂 Thanks again!
THIS is the best and easiest coffee cake I have ever made. It is so simple! I was a little nervous about putting all the melted butter on during the final step but it made the edges so nice and crispy. This recipe is a keeper and I’m glad I found your site while searching on Google.
Yay!! Love to hear that! I am glad you found it 🙂 Thank you so much!!
We all loved this Coffee Cake. The cinnamon is bursting in this recipe! I made it while guests where in town, and it was perfect. Quick and delicious. Thank you for the new go to recipe for when we have guests!
I made this coffee cake for a brunch, and everyone seriously LOVED it. I was counting on leftovers for the next day or two, but the entire coffee cake was gone before brunch was over! LOL
Yay!! It’s great for brunch!!
My sister has a yummy coffee cake recipe but I never make it because there are so many steps. I really loved how simple this one was to make and it tasted just as good.
This was the tastiest & easiest recipe ever!! I made it for breakfast, but it could easily be dessert, too! My family has requested it again!
I just made the easy coffe cake this afternoon and it’s delicious!
Yay!! Glad you liked it! Thank you!
This is super easy to make and it’s delicious!
I’ve read in the comments, some mention a video for this recipe. I don’t seem to see it here. Even a search yielded no results. Could you send send me the link, please? I’ve made this a few times but still have reservations about how thick the batter is and how to spread it. Thank you, Robert
Great recipes
Thanks so much!!
This was the best cofffee cake ever! I added chopped pecans to the brown sugar mix and it was so good!
I am so glad you think so!! Thank you for letting me know!
This recipe is so yummy! I left everything the same except the butter for the top. I did 1/4 cup instead of the recommended 1/2 cup and it was perfect. I baked mine for 35 minutes. This will be a regular dish for church, friends, family and pot lucks at work.
Yay, I am so glad to hear that!! It is the best recipe to take anywhere 🙂 Thank you for letting me know!
Thanks so much for the recipes my nephew came across your page he as soon as he did he jump in his car to come and show me all the new recipes. He said he will go to the grocery store and pick up some of the ingredients he don’t know where he want me to start but he ready to eat I told him silly boy go do what you got to do and I have to say that the recipe look delicious once again thanks and keep them coming.
I love this!!! That is so awesome to hear that he found some recipes for you to try 🙂 Well, I hope you try some & like the ones you do!
My 13 year old daughter made this on her own. I thought the top would look more crumbly and wasn’t sure how it would turn out after baking but it was amazing!! She’s about to make another batch for a teachers luncheon. Thanks for an awesome recipe!
That is so awesome!! So, happy it turned out! Tell her thank you for trying it!
For step 3, do I add the wet into the dry, or the dry into the wet?
It doesn’t matter. I would add to whichever is in a bigger bowl. So, if your dry ingredients are in the bigger bowl, add you wet to that. Let me know what you think 🙂 Thanks & enjoy!
This recipe was absolutely amazing! There’s only one slice left, even though I made it yesterday! My sister loved-and she’s been waging war on any sort of carb. This was delicious!
Yay!! Love hearing that! Thank you so much!! And, yes, it goes fast!
This is so easy! It has become my Daughter’s most requested recipe from me! It’s great for breakfast or dessert. Making this tonight, for tomorrow the Daughter is getting braces. It’s soft and she’ll be able to eat it no problem! Thank so much for this!!
Thank you so much for sharing that! We love it any time of the day, too!
I love this coffee cake and have made it at least 4 times already. I would like to change it up and make an apple coffee cake with similar ingredients. Should I add less milk or oil to balance out the moisture? Or should I just add in the apples with the recipe as-is?
I decided to experiment, I reduced oil to 1/2 cup, and added 1/2 cup grated apples to the dough. Also in between the 2 layers, I sprinkled cubes of apples throughout. Turned out great! No need to peel apples
Thank you for sharing that!! I hadn’t tried adding apples, so I was unsure. I am glad it turned out!
There’s a recipe for blueberry coffee cake: 1c oil,2eggs,1t vanilla,1c milk,1c sugar,3cflour,3t baking powder,Half t salt,1.5c brown sugar 2t cinn, Half cup margaine 9/12 in.pan. pour in pan half and half of mixture ,half topping, half stussel. Drizzle w butter. HOW MANY CUPS OF BLUBERRIES(FRZ)????
I haven’t tried adding blueberries, but really, you could add as much as you like. You could start with a cup or add less, if you want less or more, if you love blueberries 🙂
Lovely cake! Make sure to use a relatively flat pan and swirl the streusel about!
Thank you 🙂
Can Almond Milk be used instead of milk?
I haven’t tried, but I am sure it could 🙂 Let me know what you think!
I really liked the coffee cake. So did my husband! The batter was thick. I assume it is supposed to be but the top layer was too thick to spread without messing up the streusel. It looked clumpy instead of a smooth layer. Is that the way it should be?
I am glad you both liked it. It is a little thick, so you may not have done anything wrong. Was it ok, after baking? You should be able to spread it around.
Is it supposed to turn out crumbly :/ I feel like I did something wrong somewhere. It definitely doesn’t look like the picture.
Not too crumbly. I am sorry, I wish I knew what happened. All the measurements were correct?
Yes, I also used evoo and baking flour. Could that have something to do with it?
It is a possibility? Try using the ingredients listed & let me know how it turns out 🙂
Hi,
How many does this recipe serve? I have a brunch for 40 coming up and will need to scale it up.
Thanks.
You would need to double it or even triple it. Depending on how big you cut them, you could get maybe 15-20 pieces in a 9×13. It is always a hit!! Good luck!
I’m going to make it with my gluten free flour blend and triple the recipe.
Thanks!
Let me know what you think! 🙂 Hope you like it!
I used gluten free flour and it was so delicious! I tripled it and it was the right amount for 40 people.
Yay!! I am so glad 🙂 Thank you for letting me know!
Great recipe, but do i have to grease pan?
Didn’t mention that, but I like to a little 🙂 I hope you like it!
Cake’s in the oven, I’m excited to see how it turns out! 🙂
Also! We have the same first name spelled the same way! This is the first time I’ve seen it the exact same way as my own. This cake was meant to be!! ????
Oh my god this is SO good!!
Yay!! So, glad you liked it 🙂 And, I agree…haven’t seen it spelled the same way too often! Meant to be 🙂
Hi I just made the batter and it’s a very dough like texture and idk why … is this suppose to be like this … I’m confused
How did it turn out? It is that way. I hope it turned out & that you like it 🙂
Is it all-purpose flour or self-rising?
I use all-purpose 🙂
Are you sure that it’s a cup of oil? Sure sound like a lot of liquid for only 3 cups of flour.
Yes 🙂 I promise it all comes together & is really good!
Hello!
This recipe is delicious, I’ve already made it once before and I’m making it again this weekend. I just wanted to ask if the batter or the topping could be made ahead of time (as in a day and a half before) or would that not be good?
Thanks!
I personally haven’t made it that far in advance. I’m thinking it should be ok 🙂 I’m glad you like it!
Can we use olive oil?
I personally haven’t tried, so I can’t say if it turns out the same. I would think it should be ok, though 🙂
I used extra-light tasting olive oil from Costco and it was fine.
Oh good to hear! Thanks for letting us know.
I made this recipe yesterday and put in 2 round cake pans. I sent one to my daughter and my phone has been ringing all day with compliments on this coffee cake. It is awesome and so moist that i have to moan with each bite. Definately a keeper.
I love hearing that!! I am so glad you both liked it! Thank you!
Hi when I saw your quick coffee cake recipe I knew I would try it and take to a ladies get together where it would suit all tastes. It’s truly easy to make and I love it. It’s definitely a favorite recipe. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Awe, thank you so much for letting me know!! That is why I love it too!
I made the quick coffee cake, and it was delicious. The batter was thick, and I questioned it at the time. However, it turned out great. I was wondering if this recipe would work if it was put together the night before, and baked in the morning.
It should be ok 🙂 I haven’t made it the night before, but don’t see why it couldn’t be. Thank you so much for letting me know. I am so glad you liked it!
Thank u !
You are so welcome! Enjoy!
Is there a milk substitute for your quick coffee cake if I want it to be dairy-free?
I have not tried these, but here are some suggestions I found online…Here is a guide to help you choose the right non-dairy milk for all your cooking and baking needs.
Soy Milk. Of all the non-dairy milks available, soy milk has the most protein and in that regard is comparable to cow’s milk. …
Almond Milk. …
Cashew Milk. …
Coconut Milk.
Rice Milk. …
Oat Milk. …
Hemp Milk. …
Flax Milk.
I used sugar free almond milk instead of regular whole milk. It was great.
I just made this and pulled it out of the oven a couple hours ago. I did make a few changes:
I used butter instead of oil and creamed it with the sugar and before adding eggs, milk and vanilla.
I also used rounded teaspoons of cinnamon instead of leveling off.
I added 10 minutes to the baking time – so 40 min.
It sure smells divine and I can’t wait to have a piece later this evening..
It’s the best smell! Thank you for trying it!
I take breakfast to my grandkids every morning in small rubbermaid dishes so they can eat in the van on the way to school. I’m always looking for something different that can be easily eaten in the van. I made your coffee cake recipe this morning and they loved it. In fact, my 11 year old granddaughter declared it to be her new favorite food. My son and husband love it too. Thanks!
I have to admit something though. I’m lazy. I use my stand mixer and first beat the eggs, then added the rest of the wet ingredients, then the dry ones one at a time, ending with the flour. Saves one dirty bowl, and the resulting batter was silky smooth. If there is a reason the mix the wet and dry separately, I can’t figure out what it is.
Love it! I am glad they all love it!! It is our go-to recipe for sure!! Thank you for sharing!
Need a recipe for coffee cake that’s easy/fast w/no special ingreds & found this one. Unsure if I’ll get a reply bcuz it’s an older recipe but I have a question question. Step 1 says “combine” ingreds which contain liquid. Step 2 says “blend” but only contains dry ingreds. The dry/wet ingreds don’t come together till step 3. I typically think blend means “use a mixer” but unsure here. I’d like to make this asap. Do I need elec mixer or just stir to combine? Thanks!
You can use a mixer or use a spatula. Either works 🙂 I’d love to know what you think! Hope you like it!
Can this be converted to gluten free?
Sure could 🙂 Let me know what you think & do. Thank you!
It turned out pretty good. I made it for my sister in law last night and today it was really tasty. I used Pillsbury gluten free flour, half oil-half applesauce, and everything else was the same. This was my first time baking anything gluten free. She said it was really good and that she couldn’t tell it was gluten free.
I am so happy to hear that! Thank you!
What type of oil is used in this recipe?
I used vegetable oil 🙂 Enjoy!
I have made this a few times to take to work and it is now a permanent recipe in my collection. It is easy to make and simply delicious! My coworkers request it on a regular basis. I have also added chopped pecans to the streusel mixture, along with some cinnamon chips mixed into the batter.
Both were wonderful additions, but the original recipe is just as good. Do yourself a favor and try this delicious coffee cake!
Thank you so much for sharing that!! I love to hear this & love that you share it!
Hello! This is My go to coffee cake reCipe thank you so much!
I was wondering if it can be used to make a 2 or 3 layered cake? (I would divide batter into 9” pans) ??
So glad you like it! I have not tried that, so I can’t say how it would turn out.
I have been looking for a Coffee Cake recipe like the Drakes Coffee Cakes that I grow up on. I finally found it. I used half of the sugar both in the cake battered the streusel, and half of the margarine on top, and I only put the streusel on the top of the cake. It came out perfect. Thank you for the recipe. I’m looking forward to trying some more of your recipes.
Thank you!! I love that you are trying some! Hope you like the ones you try!
I would give this’s 5 stars other than the fact that the batter was hard to work with! My pan didn’t have the dimensions on it but it looked like 9×13. I poured what looked like half the batter in and it just didn’t reach all sides. I poured in more and then the topping and hardly had enough for a second layer! Took forever to bake and the topping just sat there instead of dissolving and getting all yummy. Still tasted great, but it was just frustrating!
Thank you for giving it a try! I am sorry it was difficult. I am glad you liked the taste, though!
I made this today and it was gobbled down, this is a sure keeper, Thanks all the way from Israel.
I am so glad to hear that!! Thank you so much for trying it & for letting me know!
I just made this!
I pretty much followed the recipe and it turned out great. I didn’t have trouble with the batter being too thick since I just made sure I “poured” it evenly so I didn’t have to even it out much.
I didn’t use all of the brown-sugar-cinnamon mixture because I was afraid it might turn out too sweet, but next time I will use all of it, so the listed amount seems just right!
I also didn’t pour any margarine on top and it still turned out great.
Yay!! Glad you liked it 🙂 Thank you so much for sharing!
We live in Canada. I would love to make the cinnamon roll bake but I’ve never even heard of frozen pre-made cin buns. We only really have the Pillsbury ones that come in 8’s or 5’s and it says right on the package not to freeze them. Can you tell me or post a picture of the ones you use please?
Are you talking for this recipe or a different one? This specific recipe is from scratch, so there isn’t pre-made cinnamon buns in it. I’d love to help you out, so just let me know which recipe. 🙂
Just made my second one. What I like about this is it doesn’t require sour cream. Not that I have anything against sour cream, but I never seem to have it on hand when I crave coffee cake, and in fact baked this because it was the only recipe the didn’t require it when I went looking. Two notes: Yeah, the batter is thick. I just slurped in more milk until it looked right. Worked for me. And 2: the filling/topping allows for a lot of variation. For instance, I divided it this last time and added a big pinch of cocoa powder and some chopped pecans to the filling, and some shredded coconut to the topping. All stuff I had in the freezer and fancies it up a bit and makes it that much better.
Thank you so much for sharing that! I am so glad you came across this recipe, as well!!
This is perfect and my new go-to recipe. So easy to make with ingredients I always have on hand. Thank you!
That makes me so happy to hear! Thank you for letting me know!
This cake batter gave me some issues at first. The cake had to much butter floating on the top. when i took it out of the pan, it was so soggy it fell apart. I tried again and it worked! i have no idea what went wrong the first time!
Well, I am glad it did the 2nd time!! Thank you for trying it again 🙂
Do you grease and flour the pan?
Yes, sorry. I do lightly grease the pan. You don’t have to flour it, but you could 🙂 Let me know what you think!
Made this for Sunday brunch with friends and everyone raved about it… it was quick and easy and delicious. I added chopped walnuts to my filling just because I like nuts in coffee cake, but it would have been great without too! thank you!
I’m so happy to hear that it was a hit!! Adding nuts is a great option. Thank you for letting me know!
5 stars for sure. Follow the recipe and you will not be disappointed
Only thing I liked was putting the brown sugar batter on top
Not in between layer
Awesome recipe love it
I am so glad you liked it!! Thank you so much for sharing!! 🙂
Thank you for sharing this recipe I have been making this a lot and it is so good
I did something wrong! Aaaa! My husbands hopes were so high.
Help!
I blended the eggs with the liquids. Would that make it watery?
I also put the 1 1/2 brown sugar in with the white sugar mix. Then added more for the strudel. Could that be it?
The eggs were super fresh from my chickens. Could that be it?
I’m obviously not a cook.
Thanks for the recipe even though I messed it up. I’ll try again another day.
Sandi
The only thing I notice is that you mixed brown sugar with the white sugar. The brown sugar is for the streusel, it’s not in the cake. You did the eggs right with the liquids. That could have been it with the brown sugar. I hope you will try again 🙂 Thank you!
Do you prefer to use cake and pastry flour or all purpose flour for your Quick Coffee Cake? Looks fantastic!
I just use all purpose flour 🙂 This is our favorite!! I hope you like it!
I just made this for my kids for breakfast. It was very good and they loved it. I’m starting a blog where I make recipes I find from blogs and I write about them. I will absolutely be writibg about this one!
I’m glad they liked it!! Thank you!
Turned out good, but a little crumbly. I had to cook about 15 extra minutes.
It can be messy 🙂 Thanks for giving it a try!
Hi! I made this yesterday to share at bible class. IT was so delicious and easy!! Everyone loved it. Mine cooked for 40 minutes. I followed everything else exactly. Thank you!!
Wonderful!! I am happy everyone loved it! Thank you for trying it!
I really like your recipes!
Awe, thank you so much!! I’m glad you do 🙂
Can i sub toom temp butter in thr batter instead of oil?
You know, I haven’t tried. There is already margarine or butter in there, so I’m not sure how it would turn out if you did sub that. There is always trial & error 🙂
Made this today. Despite my initial misgivings it’s terrific & my guests loved it. Those misgivings similar to those already mentioned in other posts. Too thick batter but it works. Size of the pan, because of the amount of batter I questioned the size but glad I stuck with the size recommended. Next time I would like to try adding fruit like blueberries or apple. As my Mom says “it’s a keeper!”
Woohoo!! I am so glad! Thank you so much for trying it & for letting me know!
Would you believe I just pulled one out if the oven! My Mother loved it so much she asked me to make another. I did add 3/4 cup chopped walnuts to the second topping of brown sugar and cinnamon. Since it was still warm from the oven I couldn’t help but think all I needed was a scoop of vanilla ice cream! It’d be great. Thank you again for sharing this wonderful treat.
So glad!! That sounds good!! Thanks!
this worked great!
Thank you so much!
I followed the recipe almost exactly (swapped the margarine for butter) and its half way through baking now. I am also seeing a pool of butter forming in the center as the cake rises higher around the edges. Still looks and smells amazing. Hoping it turns out!
Hope so too 🙂
Delicious! I tried this coffee cake recipe for the first time & my kids & I loved it! They finished the whole pan in one day! Thanks for the recipe!
Love it! Thank you so much for letting me know! It doesn’t last long around here, either!
I baked it in a ceramic 9×13 baking dish. It took an extra 20 minutes to get done. Excellent recipe. Next time I’m adding chopped pecans.
Yay!! Thank you!
Didn’t have a 9×13 so used an 8×8 and so far it’s been in oven 40 min and still when I stick a toothpick in it’s soggy and nowhere near done. Is this because I used a smaller pan? It smells devine though.
For sure! Usually recipes take a lot longer in an 8×8, compared to 9×13. How did it turn out?
Made it on the spur of the moment for New Years house guests. Easy to make, got rave reviews. Made my house smell great! Looked a little gooey when I first took out of the oven but nice consistency after it cooled. Followed recipe exactly. Will definitely make again. Thanks!!
Oh, I love hearing that! We make this quite a bit! Thanks so much for sharing!
Recipe is messed up, it calls for margerine, but when you get down to the description, there is no margerine mentioned.
Never mind, my ipad didnt load it up until the last second.
This will let you know I experimented with your recipe and failed. Trying to cut carbs, I decreased the sugar to about 2/3 cup. The batter was like a cross between bread dough and cake batter. Not sure if that is normal. ? Had to work to spread it out. Didn’t seem like enough to make two layers. The cake came out extremely crumbly. Tasted ok. More Sugar in cake would have been better. 🙂
My question: would the reduced sugar make it crumbly? Just wondering and wanting to learn. Thanks for your great recipes!
I haven’t tried, so I’m not sure. The only thing that should be crumbly is the streusel. Besides the sugar, you followed the recipe?
This was delicious, but I did make two changes. First, I used apple sauce in place of the oil – it came out so moist and delicious and saved me tons of calories! lol And second, for the topping, I mixed the butter (not margarine) with the brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl until a bit crumbly but well incorporated and then put that on top of the batter. No pooling of butter on top this way and makes a delicious streusel!
Sounds good! Thank you for sharing your changes!
I thought to do that as a classical streusel topping, but decided to follow the recipe instead. did you mix the brown sugar & cinnamon with cold butter and sprinkle that on top? how much butter did you use?
The streusel is just brown sugar with cinnamon & then 1/2 c melted butter is drizzled on top.
This truly *was* the BEST coffee cake ever (although I’ve only used the recipe on the box of Bisquick!) and SO easy!! The batter was so thick that I wasn’t sure I had done it right. It turned out, though, so I just changed my copy to “‘spread’ the batter…”
I’m making this right now, but it’s taking a lot longer than 30 mins. I keep adding 5 mins at a time. Any thoughts?
All ovens are different & climate/altitude can effect baking time. I hope it turned out for you 🙂
I just made this. It is fantastic! Thank You!
After 30 minutes in the oven it was not cooked at all.
I had to cook mine for 1 hour at 350.
Yes, sometimes ovens will vary, but I’m glad it worked out for you! Thanks!
I made it and the butter pooled on top and did not cook the middle, I put it in for another 13 minutes with hopes of it being cooked without burning the edges!
Oh, no, I’m sorry. I haven’t had that happen..I wonder what made it do that? How did it turn out after cooking longer?
What type of 9×13 pan did you use? I used glass 9×13 & it needed to cook much longer & had so much pooling butter/squishy areas. It was still yummy but I’m wondering what will happen if I use a different pan.
I use a glass as well. You may just need to leave it in longer or you can totally use a different pan 🙂
Hello. I would like to know if I can change margerine for butter? thanks
Yes, of course 🙂 Hope you like it!
Made it and it was delicious!!! Thanks for the recipe! Do you know how well it freezes if I wanna save a batch to serve later on?
You know, I haven’t tried freezing this. I would think it should be ok. We love it so much, that we never have any left, but I should double it & try it myself.
I combined the brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter to make the streusel (I also added a teaspoon of ground ginger). That way the butter is throughout the coffee cake and no risk of the drizzled butter pooling on top. It’s just about to come out of the oven but it looks and smells amazing.
I hope you liked it!! Let me know 🙂
It turned out great! I will probably add more ground ginger next time but coworkers loved it!
YAY!!
Can’t wait for the Christmas season to roll around, these are perfect for that time of year!
Yes, it’s a great Christmas morning recipe!!
Coffee cake has been a favorite breakfast treat of mine for as long as I can remember, and this quick recipe makes it even easier to make! Thank you so much, I can’t wait to try it out. YUM!
Oh, it’s our favorite! I agree with you! Hope you like this recipe! Thank you!
I made this the other night when I was bored, and my family devoured it so fast we were out the next day. IT IS DELICIOUS and I am already surprising it for my family again!!! Can’t wait to eat this yummy treat again!
Awe, I love to hear that!! Thanks so much for letting me know!
I love the Quick Coffee Cake recipe! I’ve made it many times. I do have one suggestion for anyone that the batter turns out too thick. I use 3 eggs instead of 2, makes the batter just right.
Thanks Brenda! Hope that helps anyone that has problems with the batter.
So easy to make and sooo JUICY! Disappeared before it could get cold! ?
That’s what I love to hear!! Thank you so much!
I didn’t have any milk but really wanted a coffee cake for breakfast so I substituted the equivalent amount of milk with coffee. It’s really good! Definitely going to make it just like this again.
There ya go!! Glad you liked it! Thank you so much!
I have made 3 of these coffee cakes in the last 2 days, absolute winner and so easy !
Yay!!! We love this recipe!! I love hearing that! Thank you so much!!
I made your Quick Coffee cake! The results we’re excellent! My family loves it, it’s easy to make and looks exactly like the picture! Thank you for your recipe! I will be trying a lot more of your recipes.
I love hearing that! Thanks so much for letting me know. That’s why we love it, too!
I would love to make the quick coffee cake recipe, but I try to stay gluten free. Have you ever made it with GF flour? If so, which one?
Thanks!
I am so sorry, but I haven’t. Has anyone else? If you bake a lot with it, does it change the recipes ever? If not, I would say, go for it!
I found this recipe a few months ago and have made it 5 times now ???? The second it’s gone my family asks for another. As soon as I make another everyone wants to come over and take some home. It’s perfect. Not too sweet or heavy. I have been considering replacing the milk with buttermilk. Do you suppose it would change the flavor or texture too much? I dont want to ruin a good thing ????
I love hearing that! Thanks so much! I wish I knew. I haven’t added buttermilk before. I don’t like to ruin a good thing either, so I haven’t substituted ingredients for this. I guess you could try?? Let me know if you do 🙂 Thanks!
Making this right now! I too have some of the same issues as others…batter is too thick to spread in two layers and the butter is just sitting on the top. Some of it melted in but I had to drain a lot of it off. Baking it for another 15 and I crossing my fingers! Smells delicious!
Sorry to hear that. How did it come out?
Very good…bakes 10-15 minutes longer for me. This is my newest go-to for breakfast pot lucks and work events. Everyone loves it!
Yay!! I’m so glad you found a go-to recipe! 🙂 Thank you!
I am late to the party, but I have to say I tried this today and am in love. I’ve made many coffee cakes over the year, and this takes, well, the cake! Thank you for sharing! 🙂
That makes me happy to hear!! Thank you for letting me know 🙂 We use this recipe all the time…it’s our fav!!
This was amazing! I used it for a brunch gathering I had this morning, and it really turned out perfectly. I truly couldn’t ask for any better coffee cake! Thank you!
You’re welcome!! SO glad to hear! We love this recipe, too 🙂
This recipe is consistently delicious! I’ve made it dozens of times, at home, for school, for meetings, for for friends and family, for brunch and for Christmas morning. It’s so easy, so good and is always appreciated. Thanks so much for sharing it!
It sure is! That’s why we love it, too! Thanks so much for letting me know that!
this was super good! I replaced half the oil with applesauce (other half coconut oil) and it was moist and lovely. I found I didn’t need/use all the strussel — probably have 1/3 cup left over.
Thank you for letting me know!! Glad you liked it!!
Made this but used cocoa instead of cinnamon because I’m allergic to cinnamon. The batter was very thick and the butter is sitting on top of the cake its been 25 mins I’ll leave it in until the butter melts but so far not impressed!!!
Sounds like a problem on your end. This batter should be thick. And the butter on top is likely a result of variables in individual ovens and tempts.
Hi Kristen,
Thanks for sharing the recipe. I tried it today with a little variation. Added chopped walnuts & a tsp of flour to the streusel mixture. I reduced the brown sugar to 1/2 a cup. I used 4 tsp of melted butter instead of margerine. The cake was too good. Hubby liked it too. Must admit that this is one of my best bakes. Thank you so much.
Thank you!! So happy to hear you tried and liked the recipe. Love what you did!! It’s definitely a keeper:)
Made this yesterday for Christmas using 1 cup apple sauce instead of oil & extra cinnamon in the streusel. It took maybe 5 mins longer to cook, but was excellent without the oil! Will become a regular at our house. Thank you!
This was the best coffee cake I ever made! I made it for Christmas breakfast and everyone went back for seconds. The only change I made was reduced the melted butter on top to 1/4 cup since it seemed like a lot to me and it was still delicious. 5 star!
Quick question, could I put in pumpkin puree in place of eggs to make it a pumpkin coffee cake?
I haven’t tried it but I’m pretty sure you can. In fact, I already wrote down on my list for 2016 to do a Pumpkin Coffee Cake version so let me know how it goes. 😉
Made this tonight for bible study in the morning. Hope it makes it til then! 😉 This is an awesome coffee cake…some can get dry on you, not this one! Delish! Thanks for sharing.
YAY, Amanda! I’m SO glad you like it. It’s definitely a favorite around here too. 😉
I just made this coffee cake and it is amazing, for the people who do not want a dense cake you have to mix the flour mixture and the egg mixture with a spatula and not an electric mixer. I only used 1 tablespoon of margarine to drizzle on top and it turned out just as great.
do you use an electric mixer or just a spatula? just wondering…
Thank you, I mixed with a spatula but drizzled all the butter, I will not use all of it next time.
Do you prep the 9×13 pan with anything for the Quick Coffee Cake recipe?
Yes! I’m so sorry! Make sure you grease your pan before you pour in the batter. 😉 I hope you LOVE it!! 😀
Could you alter the recipe to state that? I’m just reading the comments while my cake is in the oven (not greased). Are used to Greece everything but I learned my lesson when something didn’t turn out so I always do exactly as the recipes written. It smells great though!
Yes, I will 🙂 Hope it came out ok. Thank you!
Thank you for your wonderful recipe! We tried it tonight and it was a HIT! One question, was I supposed to grease the baking dish? The edges were a little crispy. I can’t wait to try some of your other recipes! 🙂
CoffeeCafe is so delicious and super easy to make!! Wondering if you can substitute the flour for whole wheat flour? Trying to figure how can I make it a little bit healthier so my husband and I can have it more often! 🙂
OMG!!! I made this tonight for a dessert and everyone loved it! I can’t believe how easy yet so tasty! I served it with a fresh whipped cream on top. Thank you very much for this recipe. Will definitely print this out and save it. 🙂
Thanks for stopping by, Dianne!! I’m so glad you guys liked it. It’s definitely one of our favorites (delicious AND easy!!) I hope you continue to find other recipes on the site that you love and enjoy. 🙂
In the oven…watch this space. Thanks for the inspiration!
Am I missing something? Where is the coffee in this ‘coffee cake’ Or is it just a cake to have with coffee??
Still sounds delicious but thought I’d ask!
: )
S
It’s called Coffee Cake because it’s a cake that people like to have with coffee. 😉
I also found that the dough bubbles up in the oven and it becomes uneven. Does anyone else have that problem?
It looks gorgeous! Can’t wait to eat it
I hope you liked it!! Yes, it is uneven. It’s not a smooth, even top 🙂
Hi can I Substitute the mIlk for almond milk? Sadly dont have whole milk on hand
I personally have not tried, but I am sure you could.
I just wrote down 4 of your cinnamon recipes (I like cinnamon too). I will be making the cinnamon cresent rolls this morning. They look so yummy and easy. I like easy recipes. Thanks for sharing so many great looking sweets. I’d rather bake than cook. 🙂
What kind of oil did you use? Can coconut oil be substituted?
I’ve never tried coconut oil but I think it would work as well. I always use vegetable oil. 🙂
Thanks! Baked this for a friend to take to work, and it was amazing 🙂
It’s a favorite of ours too!! Thanks for stopping by, and Happy New Year!
Found this recipe on pinterest… Thanks so much! It’s Thanksgiving today and we unexpectedly found ourselves unable to travel to the wonderful dinner waiting at my relative’s house. I was scrambling to at least come up with a special breakfast brunch and this recipe was the perfect addition. It was super fast, easy, and delicious! Not to mention it uses common ingredients that I had on hand… Very important when all the stores are closed! The hubby and kids loved it, thanks again!
Omg I made the coffee cake recipe…divine, it is a keeper! Thank you!
It’s definitely a keeper in our book too! So simple and so delicious. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!
After drizzling the melted butter on top of the streusel, I put it in the oven and baked it. When I took it out the butter was just sitting on top and making it really soggy. Was there something I did wrong?
At 25 minutes that is what mine was like with the butter pooling a little on the top. I added 5 minutes more baking time and at the 30 minute mark it was perfectly fine! Can’t wait to dig in tomorrow!
Do you think I could make this recipe but pour it into a muffin pan to make coffee cake muffins? 🙂
I’ve never tried it but I think it would work! I would just decrease the cooking time. I’ll have to give it a try myself and let you know how it goes. 😉
You should be able to but you’ll definitely need to adjust the baking time and temp
I followed your recipe exactly but found that batter was kind of thick. It was hard to pour the second half and spread it out. So I just swirled it with a butter knife to make it marbled cake. It is in the oven now. Hope it turns out well
I had the same problem just now when I mixed it up following the recipe exactly. Would love to know if anyone else had this problem.
Had this issue as well. Mines in the oven so fingers crossed it turns out.
It isn’t a runny batter, so it should be ok! Let us know! Thank you!
Happy to say it did in fact turn out great! Though next time I make it I think ill just swirl the first half of cinnamon brown sugar through the batter and top with the other half. So delicious! Glad I found this recipe! Thanks 🙂
Oh, thank you so much!! So glad!!
Was it a dough like thick texture cause I got the same if so
It sounds so easy! definitely gonna try. One question only, can I use whole wheat flour?
Hello. I baked your quick coffee cake for breakfast this morning and it was gorgeous! So quick and easy, too. This will become a regular for me now – can imagine this with blueberries or peaches mixed in. Just wanted to let people know it tastes as great as it looks.
I LOVE to hear that!! And I’ve never thought of adding fruit but that sounds divine… looks like I’ll have to try that next time. Thanks for stopping by. 🙂
This may be a silly question, but can you use butter instead? I don’t use margarine at all in cooking because of the hydrogenated oils.
I think butter would be just fine! 😀
I used butter and it was fabulous!
Amazing Coffee Cake, I’m having a piece now with my coffee. My husband loves it and has requested that I make one for him to take to work in the morning. Thank you for sharing your recipes.
Oh, I LOVE to hear that!! It’s definitely my favorite Coffee Cake recipe! If he likes it you’ll also have to try the Cinnamon Roll Cake (it’s our other favorite!) Thx for stopping by. XO
Can you bake this in a loaf pan?
I haven’t tried, so honestly, I don’t know for sure. One way to find out 😉
Based on the volume and area, I wouldn’t recommend it. It will have to bake longer (since a loaf pan is deeper) so I would cover it for at least 15 – 20 minutes to make sure it bakes evenly.
I made this bread it is super easy and sooo sooo good…
It’s definitely one of my favorites! SO glad you like it too. 🙂
I like my coffee cake less dense and more fluffy. So I added a half cup more milk to the recipe. Came out out perfect!!! Yummy!!!
Thanks for sharing what you did!
Delicious!
I reduced the melted butter to one and a half sticks but otherwise fOllOwed the recipe. Super yummy!
Shouldn’t it only be 1 stick of butter according to the recipe? 1 stick = 1 cup
It is just 1/2 cup of butter 🙂
Glad to hear that! Thank you for sharing that!
Love the cinnamon roll cake 🙂
How come there is no coffee used in the coffee cake
Because coffee cake is traditionally served with coffee. If I remember correctly, coffee cake was served more as something for guests to nibble on while having coffee with their hosts and not necessarily as a breakfast item, though that’s what it has become.
Oh, we love this coffee cake recipe and make it all the time. If you like this you should also check out the cinnamon roll cake – it is so good too!
Thus did not bake in 30 minutes, i took it Out and the middle was jumping around like jello, my oven Hasn’t had a problem baking anything else so I am reluctant to say that was the problem
I know that all ovens may vary in baking time, so it may take longer or it could be shorter. I hope it turned out!
The middle wasent done so i left it in longer. Very doughie in the middle did I do something wrong ?
No, ovens are all different, so some may take longer to cook. Hope it turned out!
I made THis recipe FOR the first TIMe this morning. I pulled Mine from THe Oven 32 minutes After I put it in and It was perfect. Great recipe.
I am so glad!! Thank you so much!
Great recipe but wish I had read these comments. I used a glass pan & I added so much bake time that I lost count of how long it needed to bake.
Amazing coffee cake, added some instant coffe and some sour creme. Amazing. Needed extra cook time with tin foil off but great success. Thank you
You’re welcome!! I’m glad you enjoyed the cake recipe. Thanks for sharing what you did.
How much coffee did you add? I would love to try this with coffee added but I’m not experienced enough as a baker to know how much to add or what the batter is supposed to look like!Thanks!
This recipe actually doesn’t call for any coffee in the ingredient list. It’s called coffee cake because it is yummy to dunk in or eat alongside a cup of coffee or hot chocolate. 🙂
Thanks for answering that! I was also wondering why it’s called “coffee cake” but there’s no coffee in it. Now I understand! Thank you! ????
Just made your coffee cake,added some sliced apples and blueberries, only added 10 more minutes on cake a just afew more after I took foil off..Thisis a very tasty cake although the apples have alittle crunch, still very good. Will make again!!
The apples and blueberry additions sounds delicious! Thanks for sharing what you do!
Could we use butter instead of oil in the cake recipe?
I haven’t tried swapping it out, but typically butter and oil are interchangeable, so I think it’d be just fine!
This recipe looks great! I can't wait to try it. Thanks for linking up to Topsy Turvy Tuesday's. I'm featuring this for my treat of the week on the link party today!
thanks so much for linking up to Tasty Tuesday! can't wait to see what you'll bring this week. http://nap-timecreations.blogspot.com/
Your coffee cake sounds absolutely delicious!
This made my morning smell like ChriStmas! Im down south in the Carolinas and my cake was perfecTly done at 28 minutes. Dont underestimate this thick batter. It fills out the entire 9×13 pan. I lined my pan in foil and greased it.
Thanks for sharing 🙂
Love this Coffee Cake recipe. We will be having it for Christmas Breakfast. It is simple, but seems like a nice fancy recipe and tastes so good.
Looking forward to baking this coffee cake for my morning book CLUB’s final meeting till next year. Hope it is WArm buttery and delicious!! Thank you!
It is!! Hope you like it!
I’ve made this twice. It’s the perfect coffee cake recipe I’ve been looking for. It tastes amazing!
So glad you like it that much! Thank you so much!
oh yum!!! Looks so delicious! Would love for you to come over and link up to my Tasty Tuesday party. http://nap-timecreations.blogspot.com/
Yum this looks so good! I'm a sucker for coffee cake 🙂
You always have the best posts! I now want to make a coffee cake, bake a cake and sit and watch this video over and over! LOVE this video…it's such a classic! Have a great day!Kirsten
Just had this for breakfast. We really enjoyed it. I doubled it to have one for the freezer and am so glad i did. I added nuts to the struesel just for some extra texture. Took a bit longer than 30 min for me. It was 42 min, for each one (baked individually), but my oven tends to not hold heat as well. Thanks for a yummy breakfast treat
You are so welcome!! Thank you for trying it! Good idea to make two & freeze one!
I used a bundt pan & this receipe cake turned out perfect crunchy crust as a schtruddle should be added a drizzle glaze of OJ & confection sugar … It disappeared when the family woke up tnx JC
Yay! Love when recipes disappear! Thank you!
Gotta have a re-do. Don’t know what I did wrong, but I did use a mix of ingredients. I used the rest of my turbinado sugar (3/4 cup) with the rest granulated white. Also used coconut flour instead of white. And mostly almond milk and a little oat milk. I’m guessing the chemistry and binding isn’t universal and it came out a pile of crumbles (would not “cake”) and was terribly sweet. I’m going back and sticking to the standard ingredients to give it a second batch. Fun though!
You’ll have to let us know how you enjoy the cake on your second go-around. Thanks for sharing what you did and giving the recipe a try!
I have made this twice. The first time was strictly by the recipe and the second time with apple filling. Both were fantastic!!! This is a keeper recipe! Thanks!
Thanks for the recipe. That looks scrumptious! I pinned it and I'm totally going to have to try it soon!
I ♥ the video…so cute & soooo funny!!!Thanks!♥'sSherry
How did it turn out Stacey? I hope it did! I’m not sure what is causing the butter to do that. I know that baking times may vary, depending on your dish and oven, so it may need to be in longer. Let me know how it turned out.
How did it turn out? I know all ovens vary, so baking time could be different. Hope it turned out!
How did it turn out?
I am sorry. I know all ovens are different, so times will vary. I hope it turns out 🙂
Same issue with thick batter but it’s in the oven so we shall see ? i thought about adding a little extra milk but i resisted lol
How did it turn out? I hope you liked it!
Thank you so much for trying it 🙂
It is correct. It’s ok, if it’s in there longer. Let me know how it turns out!
Not sure why your cake didn’t bake right But I used a Cup of oil and it was fine. it was a little difficult getting the better to spread across the pan however I was able to do it and it’s big fine.
SorrY my last reply had some incorrect words in it. Meant to say: Not sure why your cake didn’t bake right. But I used a Cup of oil and it was fine. it was a little difficult getting the batter to spread across the pan however I was able to do it and it’s baked fine.
Thank you for trying it!
How did it turn out? It shouldn’t be that sticky, so not sure what happened there. Hopefully, it was good 🙂
That could have played a role, but I am not 100% sure. I am sorry that happened. I wish I could tell you why. Thank you for trying it!
Thank you for trying it!
I haven’t had that issue, but I appreciate you trying it 🙂 Thanks for letting me know!
It is thick, but hopefully, it turns out for you.
I am sorry that happened. I appreciate you trying this recipe 🙂
The amounts are all there in the recipe box.
Thank you for trying it 🙂
Thank you for trying it. It is a thick batter, so don’t be alarmed.

I’m so sorry it didn’t turn out as you had hoped. Thanks so much for trying it!
This cake was perfect! I followed the directions exactly. It was just right for a 9×13 pan and rose beautifully. I went with the lesser amount if melted butter on top. We ate it warm, right out if the oven with no icing. Thank you!
Thanks so much for your suggestions! I will definitely look in to those. Let me know how it turns out. I’d love to hear!
I’m sorry the recipe didn’t turn out as you had hoped. Thanks so much for trying it though!

Followed it in order of ingredients. Not hard to follow. I always read a recipe through before making anything. Maybe try that next time
Thanks for your feedback. Hope you enjoy the recipe if you end up making it. 🙂
Also followed the recipe as written, and found it easy and clear. The cake was absolutely delicious. Will definitely be making this again! Thank you!
You seem like an incredibly hard person to please. God bless your partner if you have one. Geesh 😒. Focus on the positive. It will change your life!! 🙌🏼😃
Tom is not fun at parties
You’re welcome! I’m so glad you enjoyed the coffee cake!
How else could you make a new recipe other than reading it all the way through first? I have a down right sinful sweet tooth and this was so easy, for me, to follow and throw together that I am almost impatient to try it! Don’t mind me, over here twiddling my thumbs at midnight, being nosey through your comments, and sniffing at my oven door hoping it makes time speed up a bit!
All in all, super satisfied.
And if it turns out half as good as my kitchen smells I will still give it 5 stars.
Thanks Alexus! Hope the cake turned out well and that you enjoyed it!
Well my dear, it was devoured in less than 12 hours of coming out of my oven. The whole thing. I am back to your page to make yet another one and put this recipe in my “Mom” book that my daughters and I have been putting together. You are genius.
Oh this makes my heart so happy! I’m so glad it is a favorite recipe going in the “Mom” book! Definitely honored to contribute a recipe. 😉
We’re so sorry to hear the recipe didn’t turn out well for you. Thanks for your feedback though and giving the recipe a try!!

Did you use a 9×13 pan? I’m sorry to hear it didn’t work out for you. You could also try two 9 inch round cake pans.

This is supposed to be a rating of the cake.
Thanks for catching that. In the post, we explain what to do with it… but looks like it didn’t get put in the recipe card. We’ll get that updated! 🙂 After covering with the remaining batter, then you’ll top with cinnamon/sugar mixture and then drizzle the butter on top.
