Ingredients
1 cup Flour (plus 3 tablespoons)1 1⁄2 teaspoon Yeast
4 tablespoons Sugar
1⁄4 teaspoon Salt
6 tablespoons Water
4 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
1 whole Egg Yolk
3⁄4 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
3 tablespoons Brown Sugar
1⁄2 teaspoon Cinnamon
1⁄3 cup Powdered Sugar
1 teaspoon Milk
Directions
- In a medium bowl, add 1 cup flour, yeast, sugar and salt. In a small bowl, combine the water and butter. Heat in microwave until warmed. To the water-butter, stir in the egg yolk and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. Immediately pour this mixture over the flour mixture in the bowl. (Don't let it set or the hot water will cook the egg yolk).
- Stir the dough together and then spread it in a greased 9x5" loaf pan. It's okay if it doesn't touch the edges of the pan.
- Cover the dough, and let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size, about 45 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350. In a medium bowl combine 3 tablespoons flour, 3 tablespoons sugar, light brown sugar, and cinnamon. Then work in the butter into the dough with your fingertips. Spread it over the dough.
- Bake the coffee cake for 30 minutes, testing with a toothpick for moist crumbs before removing it from the oven.
- While the cake cools slightly, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, 1/4 teaspoon vanilla. Drizzle over the cake and serve.
