Our Favorite Coffee Cake
We've been making this coffee cake for more years than we can remember. It is moist and tasty, without being too sweet.
Servings
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup shortening
3/4 cup milk
1 each egg
Topping:
1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
3 Tablespoons firm butter
Heat oven to 375 degrees. Grease round layer pan, 9 x 1 1/2" or square pan, 8x8x2 or 9x9x2 inches. Blend all ingredients except topping ingredients. Beat vigorously 1/2 minute. Spread in pan. Mix the topping ingredients until crumbly. Sprinkle over batter. Bake 25-30 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Serve warm.
