Coffee Cake Loaflets

Okay, I’m kinda fixated on these little loaf pans I got and finding things to do with them. This is another one.

Coffee Cake Loaflets

Makes three small loaves. Or one big one.
Prep Time20 minutes
Cook Time30 minutes

Ingredients

Da Streusel

  • 108 grams brown sugar (½ cup packed)
  • 3 grams cinnamon (1 teaspoons)
  • 2 grams salt (¼ teaspoon)
  • 42 grams butter, melted (3 tablespoons)

Da Cake

  • 150 grams all-purpose flour (1¼ cups)
  • 4 grams baking powder (1 teaspoon)
  • 2 grams salt (¼ teaspoon)
  • 2 grams baking soda (¼ teaspoon)
  • 113 grams butter, room temperature (½ cup)
  • 149 grams granulated sugar (¾ cup)
  • 2 eggs
  • 7 grams vanilla extract (½ tablespoon)
  • 115 grams sour cream (½ cup)

Icing

  • 57 grams confectioner's sugar (½ cup)
  • 39 grams maple syrup (2 tablespoons)
  • 28 grams milk or half-and-half (2 tablespoons)

Instructions

The Prep

  • Heat oven to 350℉ / 175℃
  • Grease 3 small loaf pans or one 9"x5" pan. Flour if you'd like.

Da Streusel

  • Mix the brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, salt, and butter with a dough knife or a fork until mixed. Butter chunks should be pea- or bb-sized. Set aside.

The Batter

  • In a small bowl mix together the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside.
  • In a stand mixer (or just a bowl that you're gonna use with a hand mixer), add the butter and sugar. Cream until fluffy, 2-3 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time. Add the vanilla and the sour cream. Mix until combined.
  • With the mixer on low, add the flour mixture a large spoonful at a time until incorporated.

Assembly

  • Add a layer of the batter to the bottom of the pans. You want to use like 1/6th of it. Or half if you're doing just one loaf pan.
  • Add a hefty amount of the streusel.
  • Add the rest of the batter to the top and spread evenly.
  • Sprinkle generously with the streusel.

Baking

  • Bake for ~30 minutes for small loaves or ~50 minutes for one large loaf.
  • Remove and cool before running a knife around the edge to release from pans.

Icing

  • Once cakes are cooled completely, mix the icing ingredients together to form a drizzleable consistency. Add a little more milk to thin — literally a drop at a time — or sugar to thicken. Drizzle on and let set before serving.
  • Call your cardiologist.

Notes

  • Some people add nuts — chopped pecans or walnuts — to the topping/vein, and while I like pecans and walnuts, I like them not in my food.  Use maybe 1/2 cup of either if you want to ruin this cake.
