Coffee Cake


Ingredients

Cake

  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup butter

Topping

  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 3 tbsp flour
  • 1 1/2 tbsp butter
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans (optional)

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees
  • Butter a 9x12 casserole dish
  • Melt the 1/4 cup of butter and the 1 1/2 tbsp of butter

Cake Batter

  • Sift together 1 cup flour, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 tbsp baking powder, 1 tsp cinnamon (all the dry cake ingredients) into bowl, then sift again into a second bowl. 
  • In the empty bowl, beat the egg
  • Mix in the 1/2 cup milk
  • Pour liquid into bowl with dry ingredients and mix
  • Add 1/4 butter
  • Gently mix batter until just smooth
  • Pour batter into casserole dish

Topping

  • Mix all the topping ingredients together -- 3 tbsp sugar, 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 3 tbsp flour, 1 1/2 tbsp butter, 1/4 cup chopped pecans
  • Sprinkle topping on top of cake batter

Baking

  • Bake at 450 degrees for about 10-18 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. 

Notes

  • Baking time can be highly variable depending on factors like the dish you use to bake it in. Larger and shallower takes less time than taller and deeper. Once you have measured the time in your own kitchen it will become more predictable, but it might still vary within a minute or two. The Corning casserole I use consistently takes just about 18 minutes. 
The finished cake was made without pecans this time:
