Kölsch Kaffeeklatsch

Kölsch Kaffeeklatsch is a traditional German coffee cake made with Kölsch beer and a streusel topping.

Ingredients - Serves 8

Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add the cold cubed butter to the dry ingredients and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to cut it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, Kölsch beer, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
Pour the batter into the greased cake pan and spread it evenly.
In a small bowl, mix together the ground cinnamon and brown sugar to make the streusel topping.
Sprinkle the streusel topping over the cake batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
