  • 1 3/4 C. All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/2 C. Dutch Cocoa powder
  • 1/2 C. Brewed Coffee cooled
  • 1/2 tsp. Salt
  • 1 tsp. Baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. Baking soda
  • 1 C. Sugar
  • 1/2 C. Cooking Oil such as avocado oil
  • 2 eggs
  • 2/3 C. Milk
  • 1/2 C. Sour Cream
  • 1 tsp. Vanilla extract
  • Crumb topping:

  • 3 Tbsp. Dutch Cocoa powder
  • 1/3 C. Brown sugar
  • 1/2 Tbsp. Cinnamon
  • 5 Tbsp. Cold butter cut into small pieces
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • To make the crumb topping, stir the flour, cocoa powder, brown sugar and cinnamon together in a bowl. Add the cold butter and cut it into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or fork until it resembles coarse sand. Place in the refrigerator while you prepare the cake batter.
  • To make the coffee cake batter, add the all-purpose flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda in a medium mixing bowl. Stir together until fully combined. Set aside.
  • In a separate large mixing bowl, add the eggs and sugar. Beat together using a hand mixer for about 30 seconds. Add in the sour cream, milk, coffee, vanilla extract, and oil. Beat together until fully combined.
  • Add the dry ingredients into the wet. Stir until just combined.
  • Pour the batter into a 9-inch spring form pan, greased or lined with a parchment paper. You can also use a 9-inch cake pan or square baking pan.
  • Sprinkle the crumb topping over the batter evenly.
  • Bake for 30-40 minutes or until the batter is set. A toothpick will come out clean once done baking.
  • Let cool and enjoy!
