Ingredients

Cake
1/4 cup dark brown sugar (packed)
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 cups AP flour
2 tablespoons finely ground coffee grounds
1 teaspoon cinnamon
5 tablespoons unsalted butter (room temp)
1 teaspoon almond extract
1/4 cup Greek yogurt
3/4 cup whole milk
1 egg (room temp)
crumble & glaze
1/4 cup dark brown sugar (packed)
1/2 cup sugar
3 tablespoons AP flour
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
3 tablespoons butter (room temp)
2 tablespoons fresh brewed coffee
1 cup powdered sugar

Directions

1

First, preheat your oven to 375.
2

Make the crumble by putting the butter, cinnamon, flour, and both sugars in a small bowl. Mix them together using either your hands or a pastry cutter until they form clumps; you don't wanna get this shit too fine, people. You want it to be crumbly.
3

For the cake, you're gonna basically start the same way: throw the sugars, flour, baking soda/powder, coffee grounds, cinnamon, and butter in a stand mixer and mix them on low until they're combined.
4

Whisk together the yogurt and milk in a small bowl and add those to the batter on low with the almond extract and egg. Make sure you do this JUST until it's combined; if you make it too smooth you won't get the crumbly goodness that coffee cake is all about.
5

Butter up (or non-stick spray up, but that doesn't sound nearly as good) a 9x9 square baking pan and spread the batter in there.
6

Pour the crumble on top of the batter, then stick the whole thing in the oven for about 30 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
7

While that's going on, brew up some coffee for the glaze.
8

Glaze is insultingly simple to make: just pour a couple tablespoons of the coffee into some powdered sugar and stir together with a fork. Too thin? More sugar. Too thick? More coffee. A chimp could do it, and hopefully you're not actually a chimp trying to read this and make coffee cake. You should be making banana bread, obviously.
9

When the cake is done baking, let it rest for 5 minutes, then put it on a cooling rack till it gets down to room temperature.

Pour the glaze on top in neat little ribbons, and you're all set.
