Moist and tender coffee cake with the scrumptious flavor of apple and a streusel topping. You’ll love starting your morning with a cup of coffee and a piece of this cake.
In the past when I made this recipe, I used to use apple slices.
Since then I changed that to diced apples. It is easier to serve the cake and easier to eat it.
The cake is topped with the diced apples and a delicious, brown sugar and pecan streusel.

- unsalted butter

Watch me make this recipe in the video below:
To begin, preheat your oven to 350°(F).
Grease a 9×13 inch cake pan. Set it aside.
In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt.
Place room temperature, unsalted butter in a mixing bowl, along with granulated sugar and vanilla extract. Beat those together until smooth.

Mix in half of your flour mixture, then milk, and then the rest of the flour mixture. Combining each addition completely before the next. Set it aside.
In a bowl, beat the egg whites until they are stiff.
Carefully fold these into the thick batter, until just combined.
Spread the batter into the cake pan.
Peel and dice an apple and arrange it over the top of the cake batter.
For the Topping
In a bowl, stir together flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and chopped pecans. Add in butter. Mix until this is completely combined and crumbly. I find that this mixes best with a whisk or a fork.
Sprinkle the mixture all over the top of the apples.
Bake this cake for about 40 – 50 minutes until the cake is firm in the middle, or tests done when stuck with a toothpick.
Allow it to cool slightly on a rack and then enjoy.
The cake can be served warm or room temperature.
Enjoy!
