Starbucks Coffee Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
• Make topping by combining 1 cup flour with brown sugar, a stick of softened butter and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a medium bowl. Mixture should have the consistency of moist sand. Add 1/2 cup chopped pecans.
• In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup butter, 3/4 cup light brown sugar and 1/2 cup granulated sugar with an electric mixer until smooth and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla and mix well.
• In a separate bowl combine flour, baking powder and salt. Add this dry mixture to the moist ingredients a little bit at a time. Add half n half and mix well.
• Spoon the batter into a 9 x 13-inch baking pan that has been buttered and dusted with a light coating of flour.
• Sprinkle the crumb topping over the batter. Be sure the topping completely covers the batter.
• Bake cake for 50 minutes, or until the edges just begin to turn light brown. Cool and slice into 8 pieces.
• Serves 8.

Steps:

• Prepare cake mixe in large bowl according to directions on box. (cake mix, water, oil, and eggs).
• Spray 9X13 pan with non-stick spray.
• Pour batter into pan.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until center is just barely set.
• While cake is baking, prepare crumb topping.
• In large bowl of electric mixer combine, butter, flour, cinnamon, sugar and vanilla until all crumbly.
• Immediately after cake is removed from oven, break crumb topping into marble size pieces with fingers, sprinkling over top.
• Put back in oven and bake an additional 10-15 minutes (topping will begin to look a little less wet/raw).
• Let cool fully then dust with powdered sugar, using a sieve.
• Cut into squares and serve.

Steps:

• Streusel - Combine graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Mix in the melted butter. Set aside.
• Cake - In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt). Add butter, eggs, vanilla and buttermilk. Beat until smooth.
• Grease and flour a 9-inch spring form pan.
• Spread half the batter into prepared pan and sprinkle with half of the streusel mixture. Spoon remaining batter over streusel, then top with remaining streusel.
• Bake in preheated oven at 350 degrees for 50 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
• Loosely cover with foil during the last 20 minutes to prevent the streusel topping from becoming too brown.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°.
• In a large bowl, whisk eggs, canola oil, vanilla and black coffee (cooled) together.
• Stir in sugar, cocoa powder, salt, baking soda and baking powder.
• Alternate stirring in flour and milk.
• Don't worry if batter seems runny to you, this is normal and makes the cake so moist!
• Pour batter into two greased 9-inch round cake pans.
• Or if you're making cupcakes, line two 12-cup muffin tins with cupcake papers. Spoon (or pour) the batter into the cups about three-quarters full.
• Bake the 2 cake pans for 25 minutes or cupcakes for 20-23 minutes. (Toothpick will come out clean when cake is done.).
• After cake has cooled, remove and frost with your favorite icing. (I like Magnolia Bakery's Buttercream Frosting, recipe #139518).
• TIP: I've found that the cupcakes get even more moist when stored overnight in a Tupperware container.
• Frosting Instructions: It is really easy to create the two-tone icing as shown in the photo above. Make your favorite buttercream icing recipe and divide it into 4 equal batches. Then add a dab of food coloring to each batch (I like Wilton's Icing Colors gels, purchased my local Michael's Craft Store). I used 4 different Wilton colors -- yellow, pink, sky blue and leaf green. Use a long metal spatula to fill a pastry bag with 2 colors. Put one color down each side of the bag. When you twist the top of the bag closed, the colors will form "striped" icing. Use the Wilton 2D Drop Flower tip to decorate the cupcakes, starting on the outer edge of the cupcake and working your way to the center in a circular motion. Each cupcake will be unique and beautiful!
