Coffee Cake

This one is always a crowd pleaser and it's super simple; all of the ingredients are normal things that you'd usually have on hand. It's delicious for breakfast, dessert, snack or whenever.

Cake:
3 C flour
4 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 C sugar
1 C shortening or butter, melted
1 1/2 C milk
2 eggs

Topping:
1 C brown sugar
1 Tbs butter, melted
1 tsp cinnamon
2 Tbs flour

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix the dry cake ingredients together. Then add the wet cake ingredients and mix well (by hand or with a mixer) until there are no chunks. Pour mixture into a greased pan (either cookie sheet or 9x13 cake pan). Set aside.
Mix the topping ingredients together well and then sprinkle evenly over the entire cake batter. Bake the cake until the center doesn't jiggle/toothpick comes out clean (about 20 minutes for a sheet cake or 30 for a 9x13 pan). Eat it warm or cooled off with a nice glass of milk :)

  1. Oh yummy, love it at Bear Lake! Can't wait to make this. It makes me sad when I don't know how to make something so I only eat it once a year. Thanks for posting this.
