Baking Tips

Soften the butter to room temperature before using to make it easier to blend with the other ingredients.

When measuring flour, spoon it into a dry measuring cup and level off the excess with the smooth edge of a butter knife.

If you want your cake a little thinner you can use an 11x7 or 9x13 instead of a 9x9 pan.

You can mix in chopped walnuts or pecans to the crumble topping to add some crunch to the coffee cake.

How To Make Gingerbread Coffee Cake With Crumble Topping

Preheat oven to 350℉. Spray bottom and sides of a 9x9 pan.

Mix together the flour, sugar, baking soda, spices, and salt until well combined. A whisk blends it well.

Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, blend together the butter and molasses. Mix in apple juice and egg, just until blended. Add dry ingredients in three different batches until completely incorporated.

Pour mixture into prepared pan and smooth with a spatula until it's even.

In a separate bowl mix up all the topping ingredients and sprinkle over the top of the batter.
