Coffee Cake

Spread half of the batter out in baking dish. Take brown sugar streusal and cover that layer. Then take the remaining batter and spread over the top the best you can, the layers may mix slightly
Spinkle the topping on the bake for 25-30 minutes. Allow to cool then serve.
Brown Sugar Topping
This is different from the struesal because its for flavor and ok to melt away a little. Mix both ingredients well then sprinkle across the top before place in the oven.
The look of the photos are acheived by spreading top layer as carefully as possible. Then, after cake is done add uncooked brown sugar and cinnamon sprinkle. Glazed with icing recipe used below in tips.
Notes
Helpful Recipe Tips
Sweetener matters, if any of your sweeteners contain erythritol you will experience the minty, cooling aftertaste that comes with it. I mentioned a brown sugar and a granulated sweetener that has no aftertaste that will make you think this cake taste like the real thing.
How to make icing, use 1/4 cup of powdered sweetener and add 1 TB of heavy cream at a time until it reaches the desired thickness. If using a sweetener with erythritol I recommend you don't make an icing because it'll taste just like liquid mint.
Is coffee cake easy to make, although delicious don't get upset about spreading out the layers. The bottom will be easy but the top may mix with the streusel but this won't effect the flavor at all. This recipe is made for a 8x8 baking dish. You can go smaller but I recommend nothing bigger than that.
