For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the crumb topping. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to a cup of milk. To prevent the topping from browning too quickly, tent the cake with foil during the last 15 minutes of baking. The coffee cake can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
