How to Make Amish Coffee Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup chopped nuts (if using), and 1/2 cup melted butter. Mix until crumbly.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the batter.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the coffee cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before serving.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
