Directions to Make Apple Coffee Cake
- Turn the oven on to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Grease a baking dish that is 8 inches square and dust it heavily with flour.
- Making the cake: In a bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt and stir.
- In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the butter and brown sugar until the mixture is light, fluffy, and noticeably lighter in color. Add egg and stir until well combined, followed by sour cream, yogurt, and vanilla. Add the flour mixture gradually, then fold in the apples. Fill the prepared baking dish with batter.
- To prepare the topping, combine the flour, butter, cinnamon, and brown sugar in a bowl and use a fork to crumble the ingredients. Drizzle over batter.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes in a preheated oven, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack after taking out of the oven.
Why Is It Called a Coffee Cake?
Since many of you have inquired, the
term "coffee cake" refers to the sort of cake that is typically
served with morning coffee. It is a straightforward one-layer cake that
frequently has a streusel topping.
It contains no coffee. That's just
the way it is, so don't ask me why! It's similar to the tea sandwiches you
serve with afternoon tea, except that tea isn't actually in the sandwich.
