Mom's Cinnamon Coffee Cake

Rated 5/5 based on 4 reviews

Cinnamon is one of our favorite spices because it's invigorating and heartwarming at the same time. It brings back memories of childhood breakfasts around the family table — eating Mom's Cinnamon Coffee Cake warm from the oven. This recipe is ideal for a weekend brunch or Friday breakfast club at work, but we wouldn't even mind having it for dessert after a weeknight dinner! The great thing about Mom's Cinnamon Coffee Cake is that it's bursting with flavor but is so easy to make. You simply have to cream the butter and sugar and add the egg, then alternate adding the dry ingredients with the Smith's Buttermilk and baking soda. Mix up the delicious streusel crumb topping and layer that in the pan with the batter. It takes just 30 minutes to bake, then you're ready to share the joy of Mom's Cinnamon Coffee Cake with your family and friends — any time of the day or night!

This is a great simple coffee cake. Moist and 1/2 the butter of others. I made 1 1/2 times the crumb topping. Perfection!

This coffee cake was so moist and easy to make. And I liked that it wasn’t a large cake. I used a 9x9 in dish and extended the baking time. Will definitely make again.
