Streusel Coffee Cake

This coffee cake is so delish.  It's a Martha Stewart recipe and it's pretty easy.  I didn't add the pecans.  The dough, you will have to work with to spread around pan, because it gets pretty thick.  It's so moist and delish!  The streusel topping is awesome!


Streusel Topping

~1 cup packed light-brown sugar

~1 1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon

~Coarse salt

~1 1/2 sticks cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

To make streusel topping: Mix together flour,  brown sugar, cinnamon, and teaspoon salt. Add butter and rub in with your fingers until small to medium clumps form.  Refrigerate until ready to use.
