Buttermilk coffee cake with a delicious crumb topping.

Equipment

  • 1 8x8 baking dish

Ingredients

For the Cake

  • 2 cups flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 cup softened butter
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla

For the Crumble

  • 1/4 cup softened butter
  • 1/3 cup flour
  • 1/3 cup sugar

Instructions 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 and grease a 9x9 or 8x8 baking tin. Combine flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder into a medium bowl and set aside. 
  • In a large bowl, mix together the butter and sugar until creamy. Then add the vanilla, egg, and buttermilk. Mix until well combined.
  • Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until just combined. 
  • Spread cake mixture into greased pan. 
  • Make the crumble: Cut butter into the flour and sugar with either a fork or rub between your fingers. The goal is to create a crumble texture so it shouldn't be super fine crumbs. It tastes delicious if there are bigger chunks of butter in the crumble.  
  • Sprinkle crumble on top of the cake mixture in the baking tin. 
  • Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool for 10-15 minutes. Enjoy!
