Ingredients

For the Cake:

  • 1 ½ cups all purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour
  • ¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar divided
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ginger
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon cloves
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ½ cup 1 stick cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 large egg
  • ¾ cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/2 cup molasses
  • 1/3 cup buttermilk or milk
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray an 8-inch round springform pan with cooking spray. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, ¼ cup packed brown sugar, salt, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. Mix until well combined.
  • Add the cold butter cubes, and mix on medium-low speed until the largest pieces of butter are the size of small peas.

For the Crumble Topping:

  • Transfer 1 cup of the flour mixture to a medium bowl for the crumble topping. Stir in the 2 tablespoons melted butter and then the remaining 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar; Set aside for crumble topping.

Continue with Cake:

  • Mix the baking soda and baking powder into the dry ingredients in the mixer bowl until just combined.
  • In a liquid measuring cup or bowl, whisk together egg, applesauce, molasses, buttermilk, and maple syrup.
  • With the mixer running on low speed, pour the wet ingredients into the mixer bowl with the dry ingredients. Increase mixer speed to medium-low and beat until batter is smooth, about 2 minutes.
  • Pour batter into prepared pan and sprinkle on set aside crumble topping. Place pan on a rimmed baking sheet and bake for 40-50 minutes, until a tester inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Let coffee cake cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
