Sourdough Cinnamon Crumb Coffee Cake


Let's have some tea on the patio and a piece of Sourdough Coffee Cake.  We can sit and chat and listen to the sound of my waterfall.  


I'm using my stackable teacup and teapot set that my neighbor gave me. I love brown transferware. Isn't the birdie knob so cute?


Aren't these salmon colored carnations different?  


Real birdies, especially bluejays and cardinals, and sometimes finches like to take a sip and dip in the waterfall.  My patio is my favorite "room"!

Sourdough Coffee Cake

This is another recipe to try with sourdough starter, and was supposed to be baked in a 9" square pan, but I changed to a 9x13" because there is so much crumb topping, and it was still plenty!

Ingredients

  • Crumb Topping:
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 12 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • Batter:
  • 8 tablespoons  unsalted butter, at room temperature, at least 65°F
  • 1 cup  granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla
  • 1 and 1/2 cups sourdough starter, unfed/discard (I increased the amount)
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 tablespoon potato flour or 2 tablespoons instant mashed potato flakes
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup milk, at room temperature
  • 3/4 cup of cinnamon chips (my addition)
  • confectioners' sugar, optional

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9" x 13" pan.
  2. To make the topping: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add the vanilla and almond extracts to the melted butter and pour the butter into the flour mixture, stirring until you have a uniformly moist mixture. Set aside while you make the batter.
  3. To make the batter: In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar until well combined. Add the eggs, vanilla, and starter, mixing until smooth and scraping the bowl's sides and bottom as you go.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, potato flour, baking soda, salt, and baking powder. Add to the butter/starter mixture, stirring until evenly combined. Add the milk and the cinnamon chips and mix until smooth.
  5. Spread the batter in the prepared pan. Sprinkle the crumb mixture evenly over the top.
  6. Bake the cake for 45 to 50 minutes, until a paring knife inserted in the center comes out clean, and the edge of the cake just barely pulls away from the pan. Remove it from the oven and cool on a rack; dust the top with confectioners' sugar.
  7. Store the cake, the pan covered with plastic, at room temperature for several days; freeze for longer storage.

  12. I love your bird teapot! I'm sure the birds must love the fresh water in your fountain. Our patio is my favorite place too and hope it will warm up soon so we can sit outside. I've made this coffee cake recipe too, except I made mine into large muffins which my hubby loves. I keep the extra crumb topping in a container in the frig for the next time I make muffins ;)
