  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • To get a streusel topping that is crispy and crumbly, use cold butter and flour.
  • Be sure to preheat your oven before baking the coffee cake. This will help to ensure that it cooks evenly.
  • To test if the coffee cake is done, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is ready.
  • Let the coffee cake cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. This will help to prevent it from falling apart.
  • Serve the coffee cake with your favorite toppings, such as whipped cream, ice cream, or fresh fruit.
