How to Make Whole Wheat Old World Cinnamon Crumb Coffe Cake

**Make the Crumble Topping:** In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup whole wheat flour, ½ cup packed brown sugar, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ¼ cup vegetable oil. Mix until crumbly.
**Prepare the Dry Ingredients:** In a separate large bowl, whisk together 2 cups whole wheat flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
**Cream Together Wet Ingredients:** In a smaller bowl, beat 1 large egg until light and frothy. Beat in ¾ cup granulated sugar and ½ cup vegetable oil until well combined.
**Combine Wet and Dry:** Add 1 cup milk, ½ cup sour cream, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the wet ingredients. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
**Layer the Cake:** Pour half of the batter into a greased 9x9 inch baking pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle half of the crumble topping over the batter.
**Repeat Layers:** Repeat layers with remaining batter and crumble topping.
**Bake:** Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
**Cool and Serve:** Let the coffee cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm!
