This simple but tastey cake comes together quickly. I found it on Allrecipes it was originally submitted by Mary - so hats off to Mary. I changed it up a bit so here's what I made.....
Ingredients:
2 C AP Flour
3/4 C White Sugar
2 Teas Baking Powder
1/2 Teas Salt
1/2 C Butter room temp
1 Egg room temp
3/4 C Milk, or as needed
1 1/2 Teas Vanilla
___
Streusel Topping
2/3 C Brown Sugar
1.3 C White Sugar
1/3 C Butter Room Temp
Cinnamon & Nutmeg to your taste
1/4 C AP Flour
1/2 C Chopped Pecans (or any nuts or no nuts)
1/2 C Chopped Pecans (or any nuts or no nuts)
Directions -
1 - Preheat oven to 350. Grease and flour a 9x13x2 pan. Make streusel topping - combine all the ingredients, but the nuts, in a medium bowl cutting in the butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs and is well combined. Mix the nuts into crumb mixture.
2 - In a large bowl, combine the first four ingredients. Cut the butter into this mixture until it resembles course crumbs. Crack the egg into a cup measure then add milk to make 1 Cup. Stir in Vanilla. Pour into crumb mixture and mix until just moistened. ( I actually added the ingredients into the bowl of my stand mixer adding as directed and it did just fine). This is a thick batter so you will have to spread it into the pan evenly.
3 - Put into oven and bake about 12 mins - at this point open he door and sprinkle the streusel over the top, bake for another 15 to 20 mins checking towards the end of time with a toothpick in the center to come out clean. Allow to cool before cutting.
I've found that coffee cakes freeze beautifully. (Was this obvious to everyone but me?) Since I've got freezer space I make three or four at a time in those foil pans - with lids - and freeze them when cooled. They make great, quick breakfasts and company's-coming snacks.
