How to Make Coconut Streusel Coffee Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch square or round baking pan.
- **Make the Streusel:** In a medium skillet, melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter over medium-low heat. Add 1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut and 1/2 cup chopped walnuts.
- Cook, stirring frequently, for 8-10 minutes, until the coconut and walnuts are lightly toasted and fragrant. Be careful not to burn.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Set aside half of the streusel mixture.
- **Make the Cake Batter:** In a small bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup coconut milk, 1 tablespoon coconut liqueur (optional), and 1 teaspoon orange zest.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar for 5 minutes, until light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides as needed.
- Add 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves.
- Gradually add 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, alternating with the wet ingredients (egg mixture), beginning and ending with the flour. Mix until just combined. Scrape down the sides as needed.
- Pour 3/4 of the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle with the reserved streusel mixture.
- Pour the remaining batter over the streusel. Using a knife, swirl the streusel into the batter, creating a marbled effect.
- Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cool in the pan for 20 minutes before serving.
