German Coffee Cake with Walnuts
Today was a long day.
Which meant I needed something quick for tonight's bake.
Cue the German Coffee Cake.
This recipe never fails. Easy to make, Easy clean-up, and always a moist, and flavorful coffee cake.
Ingredients-
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1 large egg
1/2 cup buttermilk (1/2 cup milk with 1/2 tsp lemon juice)
Method-
Preheat the oven to 350°F and set out a 9x9 baking pan or 9" round cake pan. I lined the pan with parchment to help with the clean up.
In a large bowl, mix the brown sugar with the flour.
Cut the butter into the brown sugar/flour mixture with a pastry cutter.
Reserve 1 cup (about 150 g) and freeze.
Stir the baking soda, salt, nuts, and spices into the bowl.
Whisk together the eggs with the buttermilk.
Add the wet ingredients into the bowl and stir everything together with a spatula or wooden spoon until thoroughly blended.
Spread the batter out evenly into the baking pan, and then sprinkle the reserved crumb mix evenly on top.
Bake for 30 minutes, until the top is golden and a toothpick tester in the center comes out clean.
