Ingredients
Instructions
- 1Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan. For the crumble topping, combine 1/2 cup flour, brown sugar, cold cubed butter, and cinnamon in a bowl. Use your fingers or a pastry blender to mix until crumbly. Set aside.
- 2In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk, melted butter, egg, vanilla extract, and non-alcoholic Irish cream flavoring.
- 3Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix with a spatula or spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine.
- 4Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle the prepared crumble topping evenly over the batter.
- 5Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes.
- 6While the cake cools, prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and non-alcoholic Irish cream flavoring until smooth. Drizzle the glaze generously over the warm (but not hot) cake. Allow the glaze to set slightly before slicing and serving.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I find non-alcoholic Irish cream flavoring?
Non-alcoholic Irish cream flavoring can often be found in the baking aisle of larger grocery stores, specialty food stores, or online. If unavailable, a combination of coffee extract and almond extract (as suggested in ingredients) can be a good substitute.
Can I use regular milk instead of buttermilk?
You can make a buttermilk substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice to a measuring cup, then filling the rest with regular milk until it reaches 1 cup. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
How should I store leftover coffee cake?
Store any leftover coffee cake tightly covered at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. It can also be frozen for up to 2 months; thaw at room temperature before serving.
