Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×9-inch baking pan.
- Prepare Streusel Topping: In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar substitute, chopped nuts, and ground cinnamon for the streusel topping. Set aside.
- Make the Cake Batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar substitute until light and fluffy.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Alternate Dry Ingredients and Sour Cream: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the fat-free sour cream. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Layer Batter and Streusel: Spread half of the batter into the prepared baking pan. Sprinkle half of the streusel topping over the batter. Repeat with the remaining batter and streusel.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Allow the coffee cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Optional Glaze: If desired, whisk together powdered sugar substitute, fat-free milk, and vanilla extract to make a glaze. Drizzle it over the cooled coffee cake.
- Slice and Serve: Slice the coffee cake into squares and serve.
