Starbucks Coffee Cake

If you have never eaten Starbucks Coffee Cake, it’s characterized by a cinnamon swirl coffee cake with rich and delicious streusel toppings.

Today, I added some diced pecans on top for some added crunch. If you want a true copycat, omit the pecans; otherwise, add some pecans or walnuts for a great and delicious texture to the cake.

How To Cook Ninja Foodi Starbucks Coffee Cake

Start by making the batter in a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and sugar. Mix well. Then add in the eggs, vanilla, flour, baking powder, salt, and half and half. Mix well.

Spray your cake pan with cooking spray and then pour the batter into it—about 2/3 the way full.

Then make the topping of the coffee cake. In a small mixing bowl, mix the flour, brown sugar, butter, and ground cinnamon. Fold in the diced pecans.

Spread the topping over the batter. Place the pan into the air fryer tray or basket. Set the temperature to 320 degrees F (air fryer setting, air crisp) for 12 to 15 minutes.

Note: The exact time is going to depend on a few factors, the size of the pan you used, obviously the smaller pan you use, the faster it will air-fry, and the air fryer model you have. If the cake is not made, after the 12 minutes, add another 5 minutes, and keep on air frying until the toothpick you stick in the middle of the cake comes out clean.

FAQ’s:

Why Is It Called Coffee Cake?

While there is absolutely no coffee in this recipe or any true coffee cake, this breakfast item is traditionally served with a piping hot cup of coffee, which is how it received its name.

Depending on which country you live in, every county has its own version. In England, it’s a sponge cake; in the United States, we bring images of the coffee cake above, filled with ground cinnamon, and more cake-like than other countries’ versions.

What Does It Taste Like?

Upon your first bite, you will taste the ground cinnamon flavor with the buttery and rich cake.

If you want to add some other flavors to your coffee cake to enhance the flavor, add some cocoa powder, and maple syrup and change out the nuts for walnuts or diced macadamia nuts. And for a real coffee-rich flavor, add some coffee into the batter.

How Do You Keep It Moist?

The key to this cake being both rich and moist is the addition of both brown and granulated sugar.

The key is to cream the butter together to create an airy cake., the coffee cake will air-fry up beautifully, light, and fluffy. Since when you cream the butter and sugars together, they create air pockets in the batter, making the cake fluffy.

How To Store:

If you have any leftovers, let them cool to room temperature. Then place the leftovers into an airtight container, and place them on the counter.

If you want to keep it longer than 2-3 days, I suggest that you place the airtight container in the refrigerator. It will last about a week.

How To Freeze Coffee Cake

Yes, let the coffee cake cool to room temperature, and then cut the coffee cake into pieces. Wrap the pieces into pieces, wrap the coffee cake in plastic wrap, and then place it into a freezer bag. The coffee cake will last about 1-2 months.

To serve, place the frozen coffee cake on the counter until it’s room temperature. You can always heat it in the microwave or air fryer.

Pro Tips:

• Make sure that your baking pan is properly greased with cooking spray. I often find that using the baking spray, which includes flour, helps the pan slide out after air frying.
• Make sure that the cake is properly cooked. Put a toothpick into the center of the cake before removing it from the air fryer.

WHAT IS A NINJA FOODI?

This year, a Ninja Foodi is so popular because it combines two appliances: the Pressure Cooker and an Air Fryer. It is very much like the new Instant Pot Lid. It changes out the lid for each function, one lid for the Pressure Cooker and one lid for the Air Fryer.

This is the Air Fryer I used in this recipe–(affiliate link)
