Dairy Free Coffee Cake with Cinnamon Streusel

This snackable sheet cake pairs a tender, sour-cream-style crumb with a thick layer of cinnamon streusel that turns deep golden and crackly in the oven. The batter comes together with everyday pantry staples — flour, sugar, eggs, vanilla, baking powder, and baking soda — whisked and folded until just combined, then topped with a buttery-textured streusel made from brown sugar, cinnamon, and flour pressed into coarse crumbs. Once baked to a clean-toothpick finish, the whole thing gets finished with a sweet vanilla glaze drizzled over the top while it's still warm, letting it soak slightly into the crumb. It's the kind of cake meant to be cut straight from the pan, still warm, with coffee in hand. This one's a genuinely solid pick for a dairy free spread, whether it's a weekend brunch table or a potluck dessert tray.

1 ½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp fine salt
¾ cup (1 ½ sticks) unsalted butter, softened
Chef's tip
Use a stick or block-style dairy-free butter - not a soft tub spread - and swap one-for-one.
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup full-fat sour cream

For the streusel

1 cup all-purpose flour
¾ cup packed light brown sugar
2 tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp fine salt
6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
Chef's tip
Use a stick or block-style dairy-free butter - not a soft tub spread - and swap one-for-one.

For the glaze

1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
2–3 tbsp milk
Chef's tip
Use plain, unsweetened soy milk, measured 1:1. It's one of the most reliable milk swaps and works in sauces, custards, and baked goods. For hot or acidic drinks, a barista-style soy milk resists curdling.
½ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with butter or nonstick spray and set aside.
2
Make the streusel: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup flour, the brown sugar, cinnamon, and 1/4 tsp salt until combined. Pour in the melted butter and stir with a fork until the mixture clumps into coarse, pea-sized crumbs. Refrigerate while you prepare the batter.
