Coffee cake is a dense and buttery rich, old-fashioned cake with spice and sugar crumbs in the center and a top surface, usually served with coffee or tea. Sometimes, the coffee cake is glazed and filled with nuts as well.  The Coffee cake recipe is a Similar old-fashioned  butter pound cake to that Sour cream is introduced to make the cake moist.

Cinnamon coffee cake is my to go whenever I order food at Panera. I had first tried this cake at Panera in 2016. Usually, I get a Mexican avocado melt sandwich for a meal and a slice of cinnamon crumb cake. But, It seems Panera has changed the menu and, now they sell only whole cakes. Not sure only at my local Panera or in all locations. Besides, I cannot go through the whole tub of sour cream that I buy for Mexican tacos and burritos. Sour cream has very little shelf life and, once a tub is opened, it goes bad very soon even, in the refrigerator.

So with the leftover sour cream, I have started to bake the cinnamon coffee cake at home. This cinnamon coffee cake with sour cream freezes very well. I like to Slice the whole cake and freeze it so that Whenever I need a piece, I can de freeze a slice of cake and enjoy it with hot coffee. Based on the ingredients on the Panera website and some other online references, I created this cinnamon coffee cake recipe. I recommend making this cake during the warm weather day because the recipes involve a lot of solid fat.

If you’re wondering what this coffee cake would taste like, why not try it first?

Ingredients:

Cinnamon Crumb:

Note:

I like to add a thin layer of cinnamon crumbs to cover the top surface of the cake and, most of the crumbs go into the middle layer. Because, When freezing the cake, the crumbs on the outer layer will fall apart. If you prefer thick crumbs, feel free to double the recipe.

• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/8 tsp of salt
• 42 grams of cold butter (If it is difficult to work with cold butter, use soft better instead.)

• 1/2 cup chopped toasted walnuts(optional)

Sour Cream Cake: 

• 170 grams butter(1.5 sticks) 
• 300 grams of all-purpose flour, 2.5 cups (bleached) or cake flour

Procedure:

Step 1: Cinnamon crumb:

8. Sift the prepared cake flour over the batter in three batches and mix well without any lumps. Make sure not to overmix the flour.

10. Swiftly add half of the cake batter to the mold and spread evenly with a spatula. Cover the surface with the cinnamon crumb and toasted walnuts. 
11. Add the rest of the batter on top of the the cinnamon crumb and walnuts. Smooth out the cake surface and add the leftover cinnamon crumb.
12. If you’re going to freeze the cake, Spread a thin layer of Cinnamon crumb on the top surface.
