Espresso Streusel Bliss Coffee Cake

Espresso Streusel Bliss Coffee Cake: The Ultimate Café Experience at Home

There’s nothing quite like the aroma of fresh coffee brewing in the morning—except maybe the scent of a warm, buttery coffee cake straight from the oven.  We believe that the café experience should extend beyond just your morning cup, which is why we’re bringing you the perfect pairing: our Espresso Streusel Bliss Coffee Cake. Infused with bold espresso and topped with a rich cinnamon crumble, this cake is everything you need to turn your kitchen into your favorite coffee spot.

Ingredients:

For the Cake:

• 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1-1/2 cups granulated sugar
• 3-large eggs, room temperature
• 1 cup sour cream, room temperature
• 1 tbsp vanilla extract

For the Coffee Streusel:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1 tbsp instant coffee or finely ground coffee (Partners Elevate was used in our recipe)
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• Pinch of salt

For the Vanilla Glaze:

• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2-3 tbsp milk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions:

• Preheat Oven & Prepare Pan: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
• Make the Streusel: In a medium bowl, mix flour, brown sugar, coffee, cinnamon, and salt. Add melted butter and combine until crumbly. Set aside.
• Make the Cake Batter:
  • In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).
  • Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  • Mix in sour cream and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Gradually add the flour mixture, mixing until just combined.
• Assemble the Cake:
  • Spread the cake batter into the prepared pan.
  • Sprinkle coffee streusel evenly over the batter.
  • Bake: Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely in the pan.
  • Make the Glaze: Whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled cake.
