Vanilla Gingerbread Swirl Coffee Cake

Streusel Crumb

  • 1 ¼ c. flour
  • ¾ c. packed brown sugar
  • 1 t. Valencia dried orange peel
  • 1 t. ground ginger
  • ¼ t. cinnamon
  • ¼ t. salt
  • ½ c. butter, melted
  • 1 T. molasses
  • Zest from 1 orange
  • 2 T. crystallized ginger, finely chopped

In a small bowl, whisk together butter and molasses. Mix dry ingredients in a medium sized bowl. With a fork, stir melted butter mixture into the dry ingredients until it forms an even crumb. Gently stir in orange zest. Reserve crystallized ginger for assembly. Set aside.

Cake:

  • 1 ¾ c. flour
  • 1 c. sugar
  • 2 t. baking powder
  • ¼ t. soda
  • ¼ t. salt
  • 3 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 c. sour cream
  • 1 t. bourbon vanilla
  • Sugar crystals ( optional )

In a medium sized bowl, whisk together dry ingredients. In a small bowl, whisk together eggs, sour cream, and vanilla. Lightly stir egg mixture into dry ingredients until just blended.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 10 inch spring-form pan with a nonstick cooking spray and line sides with parchment paper, or dust with flour. Set aside. Spread about half of the batter in the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle 2/3 c. crumb streusel evenly over the top. Drop remaining batter in small spoonfuls over the top. Sprinkle with another 2/3 c. crumb streusel evenly over the top. Swirl batter with a large knife in large circles, about 10 times. Add crystallized ginger to remaining crumb streusel. Sprinkle batter with remaining crumb streusel evenly, and sprinkle with sugar crystals. Bake for 45-50 minutes. Or until center, when tested, comes out clean. Makes 8-10 servings.
