Cast Iron Skillet Coffee Cake from Scratch
Coffee Cake Batter Ingredients:
3/4 cup real butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 fresh organic eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup fresh sour cream
Directions for batter:
In a mixing bowl, combine butter, granulated sugar, 2 eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
Gradually add all purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda and sour cream until completely combined, without over-mixing
Ingredients for cinnamon sugar filling and topping:
1 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
3 Tablespoons melted butter
Using an 8 inch cast iron skillet, completely butter bottom and sides.
With half of the batter, fill pan bottom with batter.
Sprinkle 3/4 cup of cinnamon and sugar mixture on batter in the pan
Pour and gently spread the rest of the batter over cinnamon and sugar mixture
Drizzle 3 Tablespoons of melted butter over the top, completely covering the top
Shake the rest of the cinnamon and sugar mixture over the melted butter
Bake for 40-50 minutes in a 350* oven. *Baking time depends on your oven
Check with a toothpick, sticking it in the middle of your coffee cake, while still baking. If toothpick comes out clean, your coffee cake is done.

Meegan, thank you for this recipe. It’s going to be great to share with my grandchildren. I use cast iron pans for most everything and appreciate new recipes.
This is so yummy, I’m going to make this.
Mine came out amazing! I mixed in a little brown sugar in my cinnamon sugar mixture. May add a pinch of salt to the batter this time. Thanks for sharing!!
