Coffee Cake
Oh Coffee Cake…. why do you have to be so delicious? This is one of those recipes that brings me back to my childhood. My family would eat it almost every Sunday morning. We always loved it when the brown sugar topping would sink into the batter. It was literally a fight to get the piece that had the biggest topping sink hole.
One morning a few years ago, I was really wanting some coffee cake. Unfortunately I didn’t have any bisquick on hand (that’s how we always made it growing up). However, I realized I had all the ingredients I needed—flour, sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and more. After a quick recipe search and a little experimenting, this delicious recipe is now a family favorite.
What you need:
- Mixing Bowl
- 8×8 Pan
- Flour
- Sugar
- Salt
- Baking Powder
- Brown Sugar
- Cinnamon
- Vanilla
- Milk
- Eggs
- Oil
Let’s Get Started:
First Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Then combine all of the wet ingridents together in the mixing bowl. Egg, Oil, Vanilla, and Milk. set aside.
Next, in a small mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients. Flour, sugar (Optional), salt, and baking powder.
Once you have the dry ingredients mixed pour into the wet ingredients. and mix until combined. Don’t worry the batter will be thick.
once all the ingredients are combined set the batter aside, and lets work on the brown sugar topping. Use the same bowl that you used for the dry ingredients. Now put the brown sugar and cinnamon in the bowl and mix well. Melt the butter and set aside.
Grease your 8×8 pan. once you have the pan greased. take about half of the batter and spread it on the bottom of your greased pan. Once you have the batter in the pan. spread half of the brown sugar mixture on top of the batter in the pan. Then use the remaining batter and place it on top of the brown sugar mixture, and then spread the remaining brown sugar mixture on top.
Last but certainly not least. pour the melted butter on top. and place it in the oven to bake for 30 min. Once the coffee cake is done check it with a toothpick making sure it comes out clean. Let cool for about 5 Min. Enjoy!
