Title: Grannny’s Coffee Cake

Ingredients:

Cake Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

3/4 cups sugar

3 tablespoons butter (can use margarine)

1 egg slightly beaten

1/2 cup milk

Topping:

1/2 cup sugar

2 teaspoons cinnamon

butter

Directions:

Combine flour, baking powder (not soda), salt, and sugar in a mixing bowl. Seperately combine milk, egg, and melted butter (don't scorch

butter). Mix the wet ingredients with the dry (don't use a blender or mixer) and stir until all the flour is moistened (batter will be lumpy).

Spread batter in a greased 9x9 in pan or baking dish (you can use a dish that gives you about 81 square inches - we used a rectangular one that

was 8x11 or something like that). Combine the topping ingredients, sugar and cinnamon) and sprinkle over the top. Dot the top with butter

and place in a preheated oven at 375 degrees. Bake for about 25 to 30 minutes. A toothpick stuck into the cake should come out clean. (no

batter sticking to it). Let cool but serve warm.

You can vary this recipe by including raisins in the batter. (Pour boiling water over the raisins and let sit for 5 minutes to plumpen then

drain thoroughly.) You can also top with 1/2 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, butter, and 1/2 cup chopped

walnuts (although then it becomes a snickerdoodle).
