Old Fashioned Coffee Cake


To me, this is what represents a true, old-fashioned coffee cake.

Nothing fancy, very basic, just a perfectly simple sweet batter that produces a light cake, topped with a crunchy trio crumble of brown sugar, cinnamon and pecans that pleasantly invades your senses. Perfect served at the kitchen table still warm from the oven, piping hot coffee in hand, over gossip with your best friend.

Here's how to make it.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In a bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, cinnamon, 1 tablespoon of flour and pecans for the topping. Stir in 2 tablespoons of melted butter until well mixed and set aside. Butter a glass 8 x 8 inch baking pan. For the cake, mix together the other 2 tablespoons of melted butter with the granulated sugar.


Add the milk and egg; blend.


Sift together the 1 cup of flour, salt and baking powder; add to milk mixture and beat until smooth.


Pour into the prepared baking pan. Sprinkle the brown sugar topping evenly across the top and use a butter knife to gently swirl some of the topping into the batter. Bake at 375 degrees F for 25 minutes or until set.


Remove and set aside to cool just enough to handle.


Cut into squares or scoop out with a spoon. Serve with piping hot coffee, a drizzle of cream, or especially good with a small scoop of vanilla ice cream.
