The Best Coffee Cake Ever Pioneer Woman Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350. Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Beat egg whites and set aside.
• Cream butter and sugar. Add flour mixture and milk alternately until combined. Don't overbeat.
• Fold in beaten egg whites with a rubber spatula. Spread in a well-greased 9x13 inch or larger baking pan. A cake pan with higher sides would be best.
• In a separate bowl, combine topping ingredients with a pastry cutter until crumbly. Sprinkle all over the top.
• Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until no longer jiggly. Serve warm. DELICIOUS!

Steps:

• For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with butter.
• Add the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt to a medium bowl and stir to combine. Set aside.
• Cream together the butter and sugar with an electric mixer. Add the egg and mix until combined. Mix in the vanilla. Add the flour mixture and milk alternately and mix until totally incorporated. Do not over-beat. Stir in the blueberries until evenly distributed. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
• For the topping: Combine the flour, sugar, butter, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl and cut together using 2 knives or a pastry cutter. Sprinkle over the top of the batter.
• Bake until the cake is golden brown, 40 to 45 minutes. Sprinkle with sugar. Cut into squares and serve with softened butter.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour two round baking pans.
• In a large bowl, mix sugar, flour, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
• Melt 2 sticks of butter in a pot over medium-low heat. While that's melting, add 3 tablespoons instant coffee to 1 cup boiling water. Set aside.
• Once butter has melted, add coffee mixture to the butter in the pot. Let it come to a boil for about ten seconds, then turn off the heat. Set aside for just a minute.
• In a separate bowl, add buttermilk, eggs, baking soda, and vanilla. Mix until well combined.
• Pour the butter/coffee mixture into the flour mixture. Stir the mixture together gently. The purpose here isn't to mix it together perfectly, but to cool down the heat before adding the egg mixture.
• Add in the egg mixture and stir gently until well combined. Then pour into pans. Bake for 20 to 22 minutes or until set.
• Allow to cool completely.
• Combine all icing ingredients, then ice the cake. Chill for an hour before serving.

Steps:

• Adjust oven rack to center position and preheat oven to 350. Grease two 8-inch round cake pans; dust pans with flour, knocking out excess. Set aside.
• Make the Crumb: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, wisk together the flour, sugar, salt and cinnamon.
• Melt the butter in the microwave or in a small saucepan over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla and almond extracts. Gradually drizzle the melted butter mixture into the flour mixture while continuously and gently tossing with a fork. Continue to toss until all the butter is absorbed and you have a uniformly moistened crumb mixture. If texture of crumb is too small, gently squeeze small clumps together to make large crumbs ranging in size from that of a pea to that of a grape, about 1/4- to 1/2-inch in size. (Adding the butter too fast, too much butter, and/or over-mixing can result in the crumb mixture coming together as a solid dough. If that happens, simply use your fingers to break-up the solid crumb mixture into big crumbs, about 1/4- to 1/2-inch in size. Crumbs don't have to be uniform, just try to get most about this size.) Set aside while you make the cake batter.
• Make the Batter: In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together with an electric mixer on high speed until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Beat in the vanilla and sour cream, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a spatula as needed. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt and baking powder. Add flour mixture to the sour cream mixture and beat on low or stir with a large spoon until evenly combined.
• Turn the batter into the prepared pan(s) and spread evenly. Sprinkle the crumb mixture over the batter with your fingers, covering the batter evenly and completely. Bake 8-inch rounds for 20-25 minutes. Cake is done when a wooden pick or cake tester inserted near the center comes out clean, and the sides of the cake are golden and slightly pulling away from the edge of the pan. Remove from the oven and let the cake cool in its pan(s) set on a wire rack. Carefully transfer the cake, crumb side up, onto a serving plate. Dust with confectioners' sugar, if desired.
• Makes 16 (2-inch) wedges.
