Steps To Make Starbucks Coffee Cake Recipe

1. Preparation Of Pan

The first step is to preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Make sure you grease a mini loaf pan with butter. You can also use baking spray to grease the pan. You can also line the pan with parchment paper. 

2. Preparation Of Batter

The next step is to combine 2 tablespoons of softened butter with granulated sugar. Beat both ingredients together at medium speed.

Remember to scrape all the sides of the bowl. Beat until it looks pale yellow and fluffy for about 2-3 minutes.

After beating and scraping all the sides of the bowls, add eggs one at a time. In a separate bowl, pour vanilla extract and Greek yogurt.

Whisk them well. In another separate bowl, combine cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, and half a spoon of salt.  

3. Combine All The Mixture Together 

Add ⅓ of the flour mixture to the egg mixture, followed by ⅓ of the yogurt mixture that is already prepared. 

Mix gently and make sure there are no lumps in the mixture. Repeat the process until all the ingredients are mixed together, but be careful not to overmix the mixture. 

After this, let us now prepare the cinnamon streusel for preparing this; combine light brown sugar, all-purpose flour, cinnamon, ¼ tablespoon of salt, and butter cubes.

Stir all the ingredients well. You can use a fork until crumbly with small to medium lumps. 

4. Baked The Batter

Now, pour the ⅓ of the prepared batter into the greased loaf pan. Make sure to spread the mixture evenly towards the sides. Now, sprinkle the thin layer of cinnamon streusel on top of the batter. Repeat the process with the remaining batter and the cinnamon streusel. 

After this, bake the whole mixture for about 12 to 15 minutes. To check whether the batter is prepared or not, you can use a toothpick.

You can insert the toothpick into the batter for checking. If it comes out clean, that indicates that your cake is baked properly. 

After the whole batter is baked, let it cool down for 10 minutes before slicing the cake into parts. 

5. Serve The Cake

Your cake is ready to munch and served. You can enjoy it with a hot cup of coffee.
