STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with foil and coat the foil with cooking spray.

2

Whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg in a medium bowl.

3

Beat softened butter in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in sour cream, then white sugar, and brown sugar. Beat in eggs, one at a time.

4

Stir in shredded carrots and vanilla extract. Fold in flour mixture until just combined using a rubber spatula.

5

Spread batter into the prepared baking pan. The batter will be shallow but will rise as it bakes.

6

For the streusel topping, combine walnuts, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a small bowl. Stir in melted butter until crumbly. Sprinkle streusel over the batter.

7

Bake the cake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then lift from the pan using the edges of the foil.

8

Prepare the cream cheese glaze by beating the cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add vanilla extract, then powdered sugar, and beat until smooth. Thin the glaze with milk to a drizzling consistency.

9

Serve the coffee cake warm or at room temperature. Drizzle the glaze over the cake or each individual serving.
