Time 2h50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 18

3/4 cup all-purpose flour
2/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup lightly crushed cornflakes
1/2 cup finely chopped hazelnuts
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch fine salt
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more for buttering the pan
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 cup sour cream
2/3 cup chocolate-hazelnut spread, such as Nutella
Confectioners' sugar for dusting

Steps:

  • Combine the flour, brown sugar, cornflakes, hazelnuts, cinnamon and salt in a small bowl and mix to combine. Add the butter and mix thoroughly with your fingers or a fork until all of the butter has been evenly distributed and incorporated into the flour. Form into small to medium clumps with your fingers.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter an 8-inch square cake pan.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a small bowl.
  • Beat the butter and granulated sugar together in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla. Reduce the speed to low and add the flour mixture in 3 batches, alternating with the sour cream, beginning and ending with the flour, beating until just incorporated.
  • Spoon half of the cake batter (it will be very thick) into the prepared pan and smooth with an offset spatula. Dollop the chocolate-hazelnut spread on top and carefully smooth with the spatula. Spoon the remaining cake batter on top and smooth the top. Sprinkle on the crumb topping.
  • Bake until the cake and topping are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 1 hour. Let cool in the pan 20 minutes, then invert onto a plate and re-invert onto a rack to cool completely. When the cake is cool, dust with confectioners? sugar.

This coffee cake was a disaster! It was dry and crumbly, and the flavors were all wrong. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I thought this coffee cake was just okay. The flavors were good, but the texture was a bit dry. I think I would try a different recipe next time.

This coffee cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. The chocolate and hazelnut flavors were nice, and the crumbs on top were a nice touch.
