Notes
Expert Tips
Choose the Right Ramekin: Opt for a 10-ounce ramekin that's about 4 inches in diameter and 1 ¾ inches tall for best results. A larger dish will thin out the batter, reducing bake time, while a smaller one will make a thicker cake that may need extra time in the oven.
Avoid Overmixing: Stir your ingredients just until blended. Overmixing can make your coffee cake dense rather than fluffy.
Flour Measurement Matters: Use the spoon-and-level method for accurate measurements. Spoon flour into your measuring cup until it heaps over, then level it off with the straight edge of a knife.
