Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine softened butter, egg, and buttermilk. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and gently fold together until just combined.
  5. Pour half of the coffee cake batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it into an even layer.
  6. Mix together softened butter, brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon in a small bowl to form the streusel filling.
  7. Spoon the remaining cake batter over the streusel filling, covering it completely and smoothing the top.
  8. Mix cold butter, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt for the crumb topping and sprinkle it over the batter.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  10. Let the coffee cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.
  11. Make the glaze by mixing powdered sugar with milk until drizzle-worthy and drizzle it over the cooled cake.
  12. Slice and serve your coffee cake alongside your favorite morning beverage.
