Ingredients

*For the streusel:*

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 3 tbsp light brown sugar
  • ½ cup cold cubed unsalted butter
  • ¼ cup rainbow jimmies

*For the coffee cake:*

  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • cup light brown sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp almond extract
  • 2 eggs at room temperature
  • ¾ cup buttermilk at room temperature
  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • cup rainbow jimmies

*For the glaze:*

  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tbsp heavy cream or milk
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

*For the streusel:*

  • Use a food processor to blend flour, both sugars, and cold, cubed butter until the mixture resembles wet sand (about 20-30 seconds).
  • Transfer the mixture to a bowl, stir in rainbow jimmies, and refrigerate until needed.

*For the coffee cake:*

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9-inch springform pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  • In a stand mixer, beat together softened butter, both sugars, vanilla extract, and almond extract on medium-high speed for 3 minutes.
  • On low speed, add eggs one at a time, followed by buttermilk. Mix in flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  • Once combined, gently fold in rainbow jimmies using a spatula.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan, sprinkle on the streusel, and bake for 35-45 minutes or until fully baked. If the streusel browns too quickly, cover it with aluminum foil.
  • After baking, let the cake cool completely.

*For the glaze:*

  • Whisk together powdered sugar, heavy cream or milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl.
  • Adjust the consistency by adding more cream or milk, 1 tablespoon at a time.
  • Once the cake is cooled, remove it from the springform pan and drizzle on the glaze.
  • Slice and savor this delightful creation!
