I decided we needed to have a special Christmas breakfast, and after talking with Will about what he liked and didn't like, we decided on coffee cake, eggs, and bacon. So of course I turned to my mom's delicious coffee cake recipe, and this morning while the boys were still sleeping, I got up and started making it! About half way through I hear the pitter patter of little footsteps and Alex came into the kitchen with the sweetest smile ready to start a new day! (Will had helped him get out of our bed, where he usually ends up most mornings!)
This recipe makes 1 9 inch round pan, so be sure to double it if you are feeding a crowd!
You need:
1 1/2 cup flour
3/4 cup sugar
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup shortening
3/4 cup milk
1 egg
streusel topping
1 cup brown sugar
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup chopped nuts
2 Tbsp butter, melted
- mix batter well
- mix topping in a separate bowl
- grease pan
- fill with 1/2 of batter then sprinkle topping on top
- then add rest of batter and rest of topping
- bake for 25-30 minutes at 375
