Equipment
- 8x8 baking dish
- Pastry cutter
Ingredients
- 8 tablespoon butter melted
- 2 large egg
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup sweet potato cooked & mashed
- 1 1/3 cup all-purpose flour 166g
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Crumbles for middle/topping
- 2/3 cup light brown sugar
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour 95g
- 2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 6 tablespoon butter cold
Glaze (optional)
- 1 cup powder sugar
- 2 tablespoon milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- To start, preheat the oven to 350℉.
- Next, using a hand mixer, mix together the eggs, butter, sweet potato, sugar, and vanilla until everything is smooth.
- In a separate bowl, add in the flour, cinnamon, salt, baking soda and baking powder. Combine the dry and wet ingredients.
- Pour half the batter into the baking pan lined with parchment paper.
- Cut the cold butter into the ingredients for the crumbled topping in a bowl using the pastry cutter, then spread half across the batter you just poured in the pan. (if you don't own a pastry cutter, see notes below)
- Pour the remaining batter on top then finish the coffee cake off with the rest of the crumbles across the top. Place the baking pan in the oven for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- When the cake is out the oven and cooling, whisk together the glaze. When the cake is fully cooled, add the glaze across the top, slice and enjoy.
Notes
If you own a food processor or stand mixer you can easily replace the pastry cutter. With both of those machines, toss all the ingredients for the crumbles in at the same time and let the machines do their magic. Once the butter is incorporated into the ingredients you're done and can move on to the next step.
