Instructions
 

Combine the Streusel

  • Combine flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and melted butter in a bowl. Mix until lumps form. Do not overmix. Set aside.

For the Cake

  • Preheat oven to 350 F. Spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray, set aside.
  • Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until well combined.
  • In another bowl, beat together butter and sugar for 3-4 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl.
  • Dissolve instant coffee in vanilla extract and add to the bowl. Beat in eggs, one at a time.
  • Add the flour mixture, continue to beat. Add sour cream and beat until batter is well combined.
  • Pour batter into greased baking dish and spread it out evenly in the dish. Sprinkle the top with half of the streusel. Place into the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, until cake is almost done. The edges of the the cake should be set. A toothpick inserted into the center of the cake should come out almost clean with a few moist crumbs. Remove from oven and sprinkle with remaining streusel.
