I was craving this last week and found a really good recipe. Thought I'd share it. Nathan loves it too. Normally some recipes are pretty dry but not this one. Especially if you follow it exactly.
This is an easy streusel coffee cake, baked in a square or round layer-cake pan.
Ingredients:
- Topping:
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup sifted all-purpose flour (sift before measuring)
- 1/4 cup butter, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- Cake:
- 1 1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour (sift before measuring)
- 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg, beaten
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup melted butter
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preparation:
Topping. In small mixing bowl, combine topping ingredients. Blend with fork until crumbly. Set aside.
Sift 1 1/2 cups sifted flour with baking powder and salt into a bowl. In a medium bowl, beat together beaten egg and 3/4 cup sugar and 1/3 cup melted butter. Add milk and vanilla. Stir in flour mixture and mix well.
Pour batter into a greased and floured 8-inch square or 9-inch layer-cake pan. Sprinkle topping crumb mixture evenly over batter. (I found that it is even better if you layer the cake with 1/2 batter and 1/2 the topping. Don't worry if its not perfectly even. ) Bake at 375° for 25 to 30 minutes. (It will be a little gooey but not too much) Partially cool in pan on wire rack. Cut coffee cake into squares while still warm.
Yummm!
