Tuesdays At The Table - Coffee Cake

Happy Tuesday!  Here's a little secret for you... because of all the family in town, need to be away from my house and grandma-centric birthday festivities...I haven't cooked since Thursday.  I kind of miss my kitchen!

 

 

It's supposed to rain later this week, and I think I just might be making this coffee cake.  YUM!

Coffee Cake

 

Topping:

3/4 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup sifted all-purpose flour

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

1/2 cup melted butter

1/3 cup milk

2 teaspoon vanilla extract

 

 

In small mixing bowl, combine topping ingredients. Blend with fork until crumbly. Set aside.

 

In a medium bowl, combine together beaten egg, sugar and melted butter. Add milk and vanilla. Stir in flour, baking powder and salt, mixing well.

Pour batter into a greased and floured  9-inch layer-cake pan. Sprinkle topping crumb mixture evenly over batter. Bake at 375° for 25 to 30 minutes, when a toothpick will come out clean. Partially cool in pan on wire rack. Cut coffee cake into squares while still warm.
