The BEST Coffee Cake Recipe

[@elinbird00]

I recently started baking for the first time because of you! Im 15 and I’ve never had experience with baking but I made cupcakes and muffins from ur vids this week and it came out amazing thank you for being awesome!

[@Whatsupbruther]

Me too, except I'm 21 lol, I'm starting to love cooking 😊

Aww, amazing! Even though I’m much older, John has been an inspiration to me as well.

[@Terri-o5q]

AWESOME!!!

[@barcelonachair6487]

This is so lovely to hear! Congrats, I am sure it was delicious. I started cooking and baking when I was 8 and haven't looked back, not only is a great interest but it teaches you how to follow scientific direction, experiment, express yourself with creativity and love, you can learn to feed yourself/others and depend on yourself!

[@debbiekarasiewicz9019]

This past year I lost my mom, my mother in law, and my step mom😢! I started watching you, and I love everything you make! My mom use to make coffee cake, so I was SO excited to try this! It was beyond what I was thinking! We could hardly wait for it to cool down, to try it! It is honestly the best coffee cake I have ever had! it makes me think of my mom!!! Thank you, John!❤❤❤

Did you use the 1 1/2 cups of flour for the cake batter, or what was on the screen, which was 1 3/4 cups of flour for the cake batter? I made a comment above about this discrepency.

[@komakafox4207]

Made as directed and I doubt I'll ever stray from this recipe again. The texture is lovely and soft, it's sweet, but not overly so... seriously it's just perfect. The house smells delicious, too. Thank you for this one... it's a keeper!

I made your recipe for Hummingbird cake I’m in my 60’s never made a cake from scratch before it came out wonderful and so moist and delicious, now I’m ready to try this coffee cake , I grew up in NY where there were fabulous bakeries so I never had to bake or learn, now in SW Ohio where there are no “ real “ bakeries so I’m starting late but I enjoy watching you bake and this coffee cake looks delicious cant wait to try. Thank you!

[@karenallen5736]

Made this cake last night. So so good. The hardest part is the parchment paper staying down in the pan while you pit in the batter. The Cinnamon ribbon is perfect. And thanks for the lessons on flour measurements, sugar contributing to cake softness, and how salt intensifies the flavor etc. I LEARNED so much from this video in addition to getting a wonderful coffee cake. Thanks!!

[@piratessalyx7871]

Butter the pan a bit, makes the parchment stick…

[@karenallen5736]

@piratessalyx7871 wow, great idea! Also, depends on what paper you use. Plus I use binder clips on the edges now to hold down the paper until the batter is poured in.

[@capitalisa]

I made this and shared with my neighbors. They loved it and one wanted the recipe, one is hopeful I'll make it again (he's not a cook at all). I was very impressed with the taste and texture, especially given how simple it was to create.

[@Morganskitchen43]

OMG, not long ago I was lamenting that I could never get my mom's recipe for her coffee cake since I estranged myself years ago, but you've come through with something at least similar that I can use! Thank you so much for this!

[@kayvillarosa7683]

I always love your tips about how to handle the ingredients. Levelling the flour in the baking cup was always my traditional way. No more.

[@bbebop30]

I made this recipe for the first time, and I think it turned out fantastic. I used cake flour instead of all purpose (I had a huge new box) and it turned out perfect. I omitted the drizzle because my powdered sugar tasted like it either had perfume or dish washing liquid in it. It tasted absolutely perfect without the drizzle. I am going to try that on the next batch. Thanks for sharing this recipe. All of your recipes turn out sheer perfection!

[@KookingwKendra]

I just made this and oh my goodness!!!! This cake is so good. It’s moist and soft. 10/10

[@floracook4803]

I love watching you John! I love how you explain why we need each ingredient. I made your pie crust yesterday. It turned out amazing! Iv never made homemade pie crust before. Listening to your instructions made it so clear and was much easier than I expected! I'm definitely going to make this coffee cake! Thank you so much 🥰 you are the best!!

[@amberripp8978]

I woke up wanting to make a coffee cake and BAM! John had posted a video! Providence. I made this cake, and it didn't even last a day. My family devoured it, and my mom had this to say: "I don't even like cake, but this is delicious. Really special." And it was super fun to make. I love this kind of baking. Thank you, John!

I made this with a dash of cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice in the batter and substituting vanilla extract for orange extract and it was AMAZING

[@tammyr2966]

I grew up eating coffee cake! My mom made it just like you, except no sour cream. I loved her coffee cake and now I am going to make yours, as I think the sour cream will make it even better! Definitely making this soon, as I haven’t made it in a long time! Yum!

[@sandralouth3103]

[@JimCapasso]

Thank you for the Crumble recipe on your coffee cake, I have been having a devil of a time making the crumble from other recipes BUT yours worked great, very simple when you get it right . Thanks again

[@Filosifur]

I've been making a coffee cake almost like this for years. I just use the streusel topping with pecans in it as the layer between the batter and as the topping. Yummmmy!

[@susanmiller2890]

This IS the best coffee cake. I like your suggestions about WHY to do certain things, like putting the crumble topping heavier around the outside of the batter. I've made coffee cakes where the batter would overtake the topping and cover it up partially. Now I know why, and this topping looked perfect on the cake.

[@jeanniebrooks]

This recipe brings me back to my early teenage years trying out my first attempts at cooking & baking. This recipe is very similar to my neighbor’s recipe called “Sour Cream Coffee Cake” which I still have handwritten on an index card marked “recipe from Trudy.” It was my first crumb topping and such a delicious and easy snack cake for beginning bakers but you can make it anytime, all your life. It did not have the icing drizzle, but it did have some coco powder in the cinnamon sugar layer, which I recommend. Thanks for bringing back the memories, John!

[@loufancelli1330]

It never occurred to me that anyone would think that coffee would be in the cake, but now that you say that, I can totally understand how non Americans would think that. I will definitely make this recipe.

[@shogunero3.6]

I clicked on this video expecting coffee in the cake…. It makes sense though, its same like “tea biscuits”. There’s no tea in the biscuits but they’re called so for the same reason as the coffee cake..

[@kineticfractal6804]

Thank you for this recipe - I just baked it, adding about one and a half diced Honeycrisp apples to the batter. The coffee cake turned out beautifully and smells wonderful... Edit: this cake gets better and better, each day. I do recommend adding the powdered sugar drizzle - the cake, itself isn't very sweet (in a good way). This is going to be one of my standard recipes - 5 stars!

[@kaykaydash5]

I made this the other day, and it is so good! usually i struggle with baking but this video was easy to follow along. It was my first time measuring with grams which i’ve learned to like a lot because it feels like I can’t mess the recipe up. I Preferred the taste of this cake the second day, as it was super soft and in my opinion more flavorful.

9:03 not over mixing is such an important point to make, especially for new bakers, because you'd be surprised how many people don't know that it changes the texture. One of my coworkers was telling me she tried making banana bread, and it came out tough and was terrible. When I asked her how long she mixed it, she said 5 minutes! In a stand mixer! So I explained to her how that was way too long!

[@capricorndrbird]

I luv, luv you baking tutorials 😊. I am a cooking /baking teacher at summer camp and teach alot of baking : cake, doughs/bread and cookie recipes and I always tell my studnets that salt is essential in baking or else the cakes and cookies can be so as I say disgustingly sweet. I compare it to the sweetness you'd taste from a store bought jar frosting that's so ,so sweet instead of a homemade frosting with depth when salt and other extracts added. I like how you described how salt helps alot to give the desserts dimension and not to be sweet just for the sake of it being sweet just because it is classified as a dessert. Will definitely try this coffee cake recipe soon 👍🏾 👍🏾!

There's one thing I always use for creaming butter and sugar and adding eggs- Hand Mixer. Saves time and you aren't having to stop every 5 seconds to scrape and mix by hand. I mean, it's cool to have a stand mixer, but use common sense, sometimes it's more trouble than just mixing with a hand mixer or even by hand. JMO.❤

[@Stephon723]

Alrighty... So I decided that the first thing I was going to ever BAKE was coffee cake. I came to KZbin University and this is the recipe that I went with. I don't know who is the originator of this recipe but I did follow your instructions to a relative T. And considering that prior to this I have never baked a thing in my life and It turned out marvelously, the recipe and your measurements are perfect. I completed this recipe using a New wave bravo x l counter top Oven/air fryer.. My first attempt went a little awry. With the heat set to 350 on a bake setting, and the tirmer set to 55 minutes. The streusel topping started to burn at 41 minutes. But the cake was done perfectly. I removed the burnt Topping and moved forward with the drizzle. Other than the part of me that knew about the burnt topper I removed it was perfect. I Reluctantly shared my first baking experiment at work. I got all good reviews. Ended up eating the last three pieces for lunch.😅 On my second attempt, I followed the Measurement instructions to a T again. I left the temperature the same but I cut the timer down to 35Min. Approximately halfway through I switch the heat Settings from 50/50 top/bottom to 40/60 top/bottom. . And then halfway through the remaining 17 minutes to 25/75. At 8min 10/90 an at 5 all bottom. I was dialing it back as I watched the Topping become encrusted and darkened. It came out pretty perfectly with the exception that my crumble was a crust rather than a crumble. But the flavor again was a complete hit and everyone loved it. I'm on lunch now and I have to find something to eat because I have no leftover coffee cake.😁. On my third attempt, I intend to use a coworker's suggestion to wait until the 7-10 of the 35 minute cook-time to add the struesel topping. I'll keep you posted on perfecting your perfect recipe in my nuwave oven.
