Easy Self Rising Flour Coffee Crumb Cake

Cinnamon swirl coffee cake is the perfect treat to go along with a mid morning coffee break. A delicious yellow cake swirled with cinnamon and walnuts.

Recently, a rep brought  a cinnamon swirl coffee cake into my office. It was moist and full of cinnamon walnut filling . After one piece, I wanted more but hey that would've been rude of me to gobble the whole cake. I could not get that cake out of my mind.  Of course I had to bake one.

I couldn't find a recipe that used ingredients that I had on hand. So, I decided to use my tried and true yellow cake recipe. I then created  a cinnamon walnut streusel .

Time Saving Tips

• Self rising flour – I used self rising flour in this coffee cake. Self rising flour contains flour, baking powder and salt. So, no need to take extra steps or ingredients.
•  Stand mixer – I made the cake batter in my stand mixer. It makes short work of mixing the cake batter.
• Food Chopper – The cinnamon walnut streusel I put together in my little Kitchenaid Chopper. It chopped and mixed the cinnamon filling in seconds. Much better than having to mix by hand which isn't hard.

I love kitchen gadgets.

Especially those that save time and effort.

After pulsing the ingredients , the filling is perfectly mixed.

I baked the cake in a silicone bundt pan from Pampered Chef. I use this pan constantly. I always get good results from it.  I put about one half of the streusel filling into the bundt pan first so there would be a crunchy topping on my cake. Then I added  half of the cake batter to the pan and added the remaining streusel on top of the batter. I poured the rest of the batter on top.

After baking for approximately 40 -45 minutes depending upon your oven, here is the delicious piece I devoured after allowing the cake to cool. Which was very hard, the aroma of cinnamon and walnuts was hard to resist.

Enjoy!
