Coffee Cake

 

Kids Cooking

 

A coffee cake is a rich, sweet cake like bread usually eaten for breakfast or brunch.   Prepare a basic cake in less than 15 minutes.  For nutrition and flavor,  stir in one cup of  your favorite chopped dried fruit such as apricots, cherries, cranberries, pears or peaches.  For a bit of crunch, sprinkle one-half cup of pecans, walnuts, or sliced almonds over the topping.   Serve warm with a cup of hot cocoa.  Always clean up the kitchen.    

 

Cake

2    cups all-purpose baking mix, Bisquick, Jiffy, etc. 

2     tablespoons granulated sugar

1     large egg

2/3  cup milk

 

Topping

1/3    cup all-purpose baking mix

1/3    cup packed brown sugar

1       teaspoon cinnamon

2       tablespoons unsalted butter

 

Preheat oven to 400-degrees.  Mix together all cake ingredients and stir just to combine.  Pour into an 8-inch round cake pan lightly coated with a spray of canola oil.   For the topping, stir together baking mix, brown sugar, and cinnamon.  Cut in butter with a pastry blender until mixture is crumbly.  Bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. 

Yield:  6-servings.
