Now let’s get into the good stuff: the recipe how-to. This recipe is easy and delicious, perfect for a lazy Sunday morning. You’ll need some basic baking ingredients and a little bit of time, but I promise it’s worth it. Here’s how to make this Brown Sugar Coffee Cake Cappuccino.

Ingredients

You will need:

• 2 cups self-raising flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ¼ tsp baking soda
• 220 g light brown sugar
• 1 cup greek yogurt
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the crumb topping:

• ¼ cup light brown sugar
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 cup purpose flour

• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  For the cappuccino mix:

• 8 oz coffee

• 1 oz caramel syrup
• Steamed milk

Directions
Step One: Preheat Oven

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish with a little bit of cooking spray.

Step Two: Prepare the Crumb Topping

In a large bowl, mix together the light brown sugar, ground cinnamon, purpose flour, and melted butter until crumbly.

Step Three: Prepare the Cake Batter

In another large bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and light brown sugar until fluffy. Add in the Greek yogurt, olive oil, eggs and vanilla extract. Mix well. Then add in the self-raising flour, baking powder, and baking soda.

Step Four: Combine & Layer the Batter and Topping

Spread half of your cake batter into your greased baking dish. Then sprinkle over half of your crumb topping mixture over the layer of cake batter. Add another layer of cake batter on top and repeat the process, ending with the last of the crumb topping.

Step Five: Bake

Place your baking dish in the middle of your oven and bake for about 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Step Six: Make the Cappuccino Mix

While your cake is baking, prepare your cappuccino mix by mixing 8 oz of coffee with 1 oz of caramel syrup. Froth some steamed milk and stir in it along with espresso. Stir well.

Step Seven: Serve & Enjoy

Once your cake is done, let it cool for a bit before slicing into bars or squares. Serve each cake cappuccino layered in an 8 oz coffee glass – add sauce syrup, espresso, stir well and top with steamed milk. Drink alongside your slice of freshly baked coffee cake for a complete breakfast or brunch experience!

Substitutions and Variations

If you’d like to switch things up a bit or if you’re out of some ingredients, don’t worry, I’ve got you covered. Here are a few variations and substitutions that work great with this recipe:

– Vegan: For a vegan version of this recipe, substitute the Greek yogurt with a non-dairy yogurt alternative such as soy or coconut yogurt. Use olive oil instead of butter and swap the eggs for flax eggs (mix 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed meal with 3 tablespoons water).

– Caramel Cake Cappuccino: Add 1 oz of Torani caramel syrup to your coffee glass before pouring in the espresso. Add steamed milk and stir well.

– Sponge Cake Cappuccino: Use sponge cake instead of coffee cake. The light texture of sponge cake pairs especially well with cappuccinos.

– Birthday Cake Cappuccino: Swap the brown sugar cinnamon crumble topping with rainbow sprinkles for a festive touch.

– Chocolate Cake Cappuccino: Switch out the cinnamon syrup for chocolate sauce and top with chocolate chips for a rich and decadent cappuccino.

– Crumble Topping: If you’re not a fan of the brown sugar cinnamon crumble topping, try making a streusel topping using flour, granulated sugar, and butter. Mix together until crumbly and sprinkle on top of your cake before baking.

So there you have it – some easy ways to change up this recipe and make it your own. Whatever variation you choose, be sure to enjoy it with a deliciously creamy cappuccino for the ultimate coffee cake experience.

Serving and Pairing

Once you have made the scrumptious Brown Sugar Coffee Cake Cappuccino, the next step is to decide what to serve with it.

I would recommend serving this coffee cake cappuccino with a bit of whipped cream and a dash of cinnamon on top. The whipped cream will add a lightness to the coffee cake and balance out the richness of the brown sugar. The added cinnamon will enhance the warm spice flavours of the coffee cake muffins.

Additionally, one can serve this coffee cake cappuccino with some chocolate chips or crumble topping for an extra touch of decadence. If you’re feeling really indulgent, why not pair it with a caramel cake or a chocolate cake instead?

If you are enjoying this as a breakfast option, then I suggest having it with some fresh strawberries or blueberries on the side. The fresh fruit will complement the richness of the brown sugar cinnamon in the coffee cake muffins.

For beverage pairings, I would recommend serving this delicious Brown Sugar Coffee Cake Cappuccino alongside herbal tea or freshly squeezed juice. The herbal tea will complement well with the aroma and spices from your cappuccino while freshly squeezed juice shall give a refreshing contrast that balances all flavors.

This recipe is versatile enough to be enjoyed at any time of day, whether as an afternoon snack or as a dessert after dinner. So go ahead and enjoy your homemade Brown Sugar Coffee Cake Cappuccino in whichever way you see fit. Trust me, it will never fail to impress!

Make-Ahead, Storing and Reheating

Ah, the joy of waking up to coffee cake cappuccino leftovers! Luckily, this recipe is perfect for making ahead and storing for later.

To make ahead: Bake as directed and let cool completely. Wrap the coffee cake cappuccino tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and keep it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If you’re planning to keep it longer, pop it in the freezer (you can freeze it for up to a month!). To reheat, thaw overnight in the fridge, then heat in the oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes.

Storing: If you’ve already sliced into your coffee cake cappuccino, be sure to store it wrapped tightly so that it doesn’t dry out. You should be able to leave it on your counter, covered with plastic wrap or aluminum foil, for a day or two. After that, move it to the fridge or freezer.

Reheating: If you want to enjoy your coffee cake cappuccino like it’s fresh from the oven, reheating is easy! Simply place individual slices in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes. Or if you’re short on time (or just feeling lazy), pop a slice in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds.

Whether you’re treating yourself on a lazy Sunday morning or meal prepping for the week ahead, this make-ahead coffee cake cappuccino recipe is sure to satisfy your sweet tooth cravings any time of day.

Tips for Perfect Results

To ensure your Brown Sugar Coffee Cake Cappuccino comes out perfectly every time, here are some tips to keep in mind:

1. Use freshly brewed coffee

Fresh coffee is essential for the best flavor in your cappuccino. The fresher your coffee is, the more aroma and flavor it will have.

2. Choose the right milk

For the perfect cappuccino milk, use either whole or 2% milk. These types of milk produce the best foam.

3. Use self-raising flour

Using self-raising flour gives your cake a light and airy texture. This is essential for creating a delicious and fluffy cake.

4. Don’t overmix the batter

Overmixing the batter can cause your cake to be tough or dry. Mix until all ingredients are just combined.

5. Add crumb topping at the end

Adding the crumb topping before you bake the cake can cause it to become soggy. Wait until the cake is almost fully baked before adding the crumb topping.

6. Use quality ingredients

Using high-quality ingredients, such as Torani syrup, Wildflour caramel sauce, soft brown sugar, olive oil, and Greek yogurt result in a flavorful drink that you will savor.

7. Preheat oven

It is crucial to preheat your oven before baking any cake recipe so that it reaches optimal temperature by the time you put in your batter mixture.

8. Let it cool

Allowing time for your cake to cool down properly helps prevent breaking and getting stuck in muffin tins (if making cappuccino muffins).
