Tips for Making the Best Butter Topping for Coffee Cake:

  • Use high-quality butter. The better the butter, the better the topping will be. Look for unsalted butter so you can control the amount of salt. Unsalted butter gives you the ability to add just a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor of the topping without making it too salty.
  • Soften the butter to room temperature. This will make it easier to cream together with the sugar and create a smooth, fluffy topping.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the topping, making it light and airy.
  • Add the remaining ingredients and mix until well combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the topping tough.
  • Spread the topping evenly over the coffee cake. Make sure to get it all the way to the edges so that every bite has a delicious topping.
  • Bake the coffee cake according to the recipe instructions. The topping will brown and become slightly crispy during baking.

Conclusion:

This butter topping is the perfect finishing touch for your favorite coffee cake recipe. It's easy to make and adds a delicious flavor and texture to the cake. With these tips, you can make sure that your butter topping is perfect every time. So next time you're making coffee cake, be sure to try this topping. You won't be disappointed!
