Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan.
- Cream the butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment for 4 to 5 minutes, until light. Add the eggs 1 at a time, then add the vanilla and sour cream. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. With the mixer on low, add the flour mixture to the batter until just combined. Finish stirring with a spatula to be sure the batter is completely mixed.
- For the streusel, place the brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, salt, and butter in a bowl and pinch together with your fingers until it forms a crumble. Mix in the walnuts, if desired.
- Spoon half the batter into the pan and spread it out with a knife. Sprinkle with 3/4 cup streusel. Spoon the rest of the batter in the pan, spread it out, and scatter the remaining streusel on top. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, until a cake tester comes out clean.
- Let cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes. Carefully transfer the cake, streusel side up, onto a serving plate. Whisk the confectioners' sugar and maple syrup together, adding a few drops of water if necessary, to make the glaze runny. Drizzle as much as you like over the cake with a fork or spoon.

Tips:
- To achieve a moist and flavorful coffee cake, use a combination of butter and oil in the batter. Butter provides a rich taste, while oil helps keep the cake moist.
- For a crispy streusel topping, use a combination of brown sugar, white sugar, flour, butter, and spices. The brown sugar will caramelize during baking, creating a delicious crunchy texture.
- To prevent the coffee cake from becoming dry, do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in a tough cake.
- Bake the coffee cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can dry out the cake.
- Allow the coffee cake to cool completely before serving. This will help the flavors to develop and the cake to set properly.
Conclusion:
Coffee cake is a classic breakfast or brunch treat that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its moist crumb, sweet streusel topping, and rich coffee flavor, it's the perfect way to start your day or enjoy a special occasion. Whether you prefer a traditional recipe or a more creative variation, there's a coffee cake out there for everyone. So next time you're in the mood for something sweet and satisfying, give one of these recipes a try.
