Whether you enjoy a sweet treat with your coffee in the morning or prefer to snack on something tasty with your afternoon cup of joe, Ina Garten’s coffee cake is delightful no matter the time of day you eat it. Garten just recently updated her original Sour Cream Coffee Cake recipe to make it even more delicious than it was.
“Recipes I wrote years ago sometimes need updating!” Garten captioned a recent Instagram post. “I made the Sour Cream Coffee Cake from Parties, and I decided it needed more crumble. Who wouldn’t want more crumble??”
To make Garten’s coffee cake, you first start by creaming together butter and sugar until it’s light and fluffy, then you add in eggs (one at a time), vanilla, and sour cream. In a separate bowl, you sift together your flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, and then slowly add your dry mixture to your wet mixture while keeping your mixer on a low speed.
Next up is the streusel, which may just be the easiest part of this entire recipe (and that means you’ll want to put it on everything). Place brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, salt, and butter into your food processor and pulse until the mixture is finely ground. Transfer it to a bowl and pinch the mix together with your fingers until you get that crumbly consistency. Here is where you can add pecans if you’d like.
Transfer half your cake batter into a classic round pan and spread it out evenly before topping this layer with a bit of streusel. Then add in the remaining batter and sprinkle on the rest of the streusel. Bake the cake for about an hour.
When the cake has cooled, you can drizzle on a bit of maple glaze, which Garten makes by whisking together confectioner’s sugar and maple syrup. Then, you’re ready to enjoy.
