How to Make Bavarian Coffee Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. Prepare the crust: In a large bowl, combine all crust ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  3. Press half of the crust mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan using your fingers or a spoon. Do not press too firmly.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine all filling ingredients. Mix well.
  5. Pour the filling evenly over the crust layer in the pan.
  6. Combine all sprinkle topping ingredients in a separate bowl.
  7. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the filling.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
