For the Streusel:

  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Spice Islands Ground Saigon Cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup butter or margarine (softened)
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
For the Glaze:
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon milk (or more if needed)

  • Spatula
  • 9-inch Round Cake Pan
  • Wire Rack

Method
 

Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, white whole wheat flour, Fleischmann's RapidRise TM Yeast, sugar, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the warm water, Mazola Corn Oil, egg, and vanilla extract. Make sure the water is warm but not hot, as too high a temperature can kill the yeast.
  3. Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Use a spatula to mix until a soft dough forms. You may need to use your hands to knead it slightly until it’s smooth and elastic.
  4. Cover the dough with a kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes. It should double in size.
  5. While the dough is rising, prepare the streusel topping. In a bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Add the softened butter or margarine, and use a fork to combine until crumbly. Stir in the mini chocolate chips.
  6. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to a greased 9-inch round cake pan. Spread the dough evenly in the pan. Then, sprinkle the streusel topping generously over the dough.
  7. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. In a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if necessary.
  10. Once the cake is cool, drizzle the glaze over the top. Slice, serve, and enjoy your delicious Easy Streusel Coffee Cake with a cup of coffee or tea!
