Instructions

1
Prepare Streusel: In a medium bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in cold, cubed butter with a pastry blender or your fingertips until crumbly. Set aside.
2
Preheat Oven & Prepare Pan: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x9 inch baking pan or a 9-inch round springform pan.
3
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
4
Cream Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, cream softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
5
Alternate Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix. Divide the batter in half. To one half, add cocoa powder and instant espresso powder, mixing until just combined.
6
Create Swirl & Bake: Spread the plain batter into the prepared pan. Dollop the chocolate-coffee batter over the plain batter. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the two batters together. Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the batter. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs, but not wet batter. Let cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
7
Make Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, vanilla extract, almond extract (if using), and dissolved espresso powder until smooth and pourable.
8
Glaze and Serve: Once the cake is completely cool, drizzle the non-alcoholic "Irish Cream" glaze over the top. Slice and serve.
