How to Make Walnut Coffee Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 13x9 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened cream cheese, butter, and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  6. Stir in 1/2 cup of the chopped walnuts.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared baking pan.
  8. In a medium bowl, combine the 1/2 cup flour, 1/4 cup sugar, and cinnamon for the topping.
  9. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  10. Stir in the remaining 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts.
  11. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the batter.
  12. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  13. Let cool completely before serving. Enjoy!
