Just a few quick pro tips:
Grease your pan well (trust us, scrubbing cake crust off isn’t how anyone wants to spend their Saturday). Also, if you’ve got a little batter left over—don’t overfill your pan. Unless you’re into cake lava flowing through your oven. 🫣
Not finishing it all in one sitting? (Respect.) Just pop leftovers in a covered container at room temp. This Amish Cinnamon Sugar Coffee Cake stays fresh for up to four days—assuming it lasts that long.
Some folks even call it a New England Coffee Cake or Oatmeal Coffee Cake, depending on family twists. Whatever you call it, it’s pure, no-frills comfort. You don’t need to be Amish—or even a great baker—to pull it off.
So, what are you waiting for? Whip up this Amish Cinnamon Cake, brew that coffee, and let the cozy vibes roll.
Amish Cinnamon Coffee Cake - Perfect Recipe for Brunch or Dessert
Ingredients
- For the cake:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- For the topping:
- ⅓ cup white sugar
- ⅓ cup light brown sugar
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- Chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
1. Get things started:Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish—don’t skip this part unless you love prying stuck cake out of corners.
2. Combine your dry stuff:In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon until evenly mixed.
3. Bring in the wet team:Add the butter, eggs, sour cream, and vanilla to the bowl. Use a hand or stand mixer to blend everything until the batter is smooth and fluffy.
4. Pour and prep for topping:Carefully pour the batter into your greased pan. If you end up with extra batter, don’t force it—leave room for the cake to rise.
5. Make the cinnamon-sugar magic:In a separate bowl, stir together both sugars and the cinnamon for the crumble topping. Toss in nuts if you like a little crunch. Sprinkle the mixture generously over the batter.
6. Bake time:Pop it in the oven and bake for 40–45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
