Blue Ribbon Recipe

Not overly sweet, just sweet enough, this is the perfect coffee cake! It's a simple, old-fashioned recipe. What makes this so special is the mixture of spices. The cinnamon is the most noticeable, but there's a perfect balance of spices in the cake. Serve with a cup of coffee or tea, and you have one great treat.

How To Make german streusel coffee cake 1953

Test Kitchen Tips
Our wooden spoon was not cooperating, so we used a pastry cutter for the streusel. Worked like a charm. Also, like lots of old-fashioned recipes, the cake pan size was not specified. We baked this in a 9x13 baking dish.
  • 1
    Rub together with a wooden spoon the flour, sugar, butter, and salt.
  • 2
    Then remove 3/4 cup to separate bowl to be used for the crumb topping. Add 1/2 tsp cinnamon to the crumb topping.
  • 3
    To the rest of the original mixture add the spices, baking powder and soda.
  • 4
    Beat two eggs well and mix with the buttermilk. Add the milk and eggs to the dry ingredients and mix well.
  • 5
    Pour into the cake pan.
  • 6
    Then sprinkle the streusel mixture evenly on the top of the cake
  • 7
    Bake for a total of 20 minutes in the following manner: 400 degrees for 5 minutes 350 degrees for 15 minutes
  • 8
    I remember baking this when I was young but I loved the streusel more than the cake so I would double the amount of streusel on the cake.
