Make a classic Cinnamon Swirl Coffee Cake perfect for a cozy weekend breakfast. This recipe delivers a tender crumb with a rich ribbon of cinnamon filling.

Ingredients

  • All-purpose flour: 2 cups
  • Granulated sugar (for cake): 1 cup
  • Baking powder: 2 teaspoons
  • Salt: 1/2 teaspoon
  • Unsalted butter, softened: 1/2 cup
  • Eggs: 2 large
  • Milk: 3/4 cup
  • Vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
  • Brown sugar (for swirl): 1/2 cup
  • Ground cinnamon (for swirl): 1 tablespoon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch square baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Cut in the softened butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and 1 tablespoon of cinnamon for the swirl.
  7. Spread half of the batter into the prepared baking pan.
  8. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the batter.
  9. Top with the remaining batter, spreading gently.
  10. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Let the cake cool in the pan before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For the best texture, make sure your butter is truly softened, not melted.
  • Do not overmix the batter after adding the wet ingredients; this keeps your cake tender.
  • You can add a simple glaze of powdered sugar and a splash of milk on top after cooling if you prefer extra sweetness.
