If you do not have time to bake sourdough every week but have to feed your starter with flour, you might enjoy a recipe that takes only a short rise and is popped right into the oven. Recipes using sourdough starter can be augmented with baking powder, baking soda, or yeast for a little extra rise and to save time.
This streusel covered, sourdough coffee cake is delicious with coffee or tea.
Ingredients
- Streusel Topping:
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup butter
- Cake:
- 1 cup sourdough starter (fed, see note)
- 1/3 cup oil
- 1/3 cup strongly brewed coffee
- 1 egg
- 1 cup flour
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- Optional: 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (ground)
- Optional: 1/4 teaspoon cardamom (ground)
Steps to Make It
Note: The sourdough starter should be as thick as thick pancake batter, or about 50% flour, 50% water. We usually remove half the starter and feed both halves with equal amounts of flour and water, by weight, then wait for it to bubble up (about 4 hours) then put one jar back in the refrigerator for another week. The extra sourdough starter can be given to a friend or used in a recipe like this one.

Then, add the butter and rub the cold butter in with your fingers until the mixture is crumbly and sticks together if you press it between your fingers. You may use a mixer if you wish. Set crumbs aside.
