Scale

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes. Add in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the flour mixture, mixing until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon for the streusel topping. Pour in the melted butter and mix until crumbly. If using nuts, fold them in.
Sprinkle the streusel topping generously over the cake batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs. Cover loosely with foil if the top browns too quickly.
Let the coffee cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before slicing into squares. Serve warm with coffee or tea.
