Cinnamon crumb coffee cake recipe for times you have a huge flavor+texture filled breakfast craving! Coz this ain't some boring coffee cake you get in your corner bakery.

This crumb topped cake is over flowing with a tender and buttery crumb, sitting on a fluffy vanilla cake. The crumb is made with chocolate chips (of-course), some pecan chunks, cinnamon, a hint of ginger (so good!), and lots of butter!

And that cake? Omg! It has over-the-top vanilla flavor and bakes super moist+ultra fluffy. What makes it happen???

Duo of milk and vanilla creamer.

I love adding creamers to my coffee cakes. You see these creamers are made with real cream, milk and sugar (and not much else).

Just the best ingredients that we need to make the most scrumptious coffee cake around!

Today we are using vanilla one to give our coffee cake a triple dose of Vanilla! Yes, triple.

1. Vanilla creamer + vanilla extract in the cake batter
2. Vanilla creamer in the chocolate layer
3. Glaze on top

Easy cinnamon crumb coffee cake recipe:

It couldn't get any easier than this!

• Melt some butter, add and mix your wet ingredients together. Sift dry over wet. This is your vanilla batter.
• Add some cocoa powder to your vanilla creamer for the chocolate layer.
• Mix some sugar, flour and butter along with cinnamon (and ground ginger) to make streusel

Layer them all and boom!!! You are done!

Look at that distinct layer of chocolate! You only need two ingredients. Cocoa powder and creamer. No extra sugar, cream or milk. Coz our creamer has it all.

Yay to convenience! And look at its texture.

A serious indulgence for your mornings.

Notes

How do you keep crumb cake fresh?

Cinnamon crumb coffee cake stays fresh kept covered at all times. Keep any leftover cake covered in aluminum foil/plastic wraps. This will prevent the cake from drying out.

How do you store crumb cake?

Crumb topped cake can be stored at room temp covered for 1-2 days. For longer storage, keep the cake in fridge, up to 5 days. This cake also freezes well. Thaw in the fridge/counter top for a few hours before enjoying.

Why did my crumb topping melt?

The most common reason for melted crumb is you added way too much butter. Follow the crumb topping recipe closely and you will be fine.
