A very simple, but classic & tender old fashioned coffee cake comes together quick and easy. Serve with a drizzle of cream, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream & a piping hot cup of coffee.

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.

Ingredients

For the Streusel Topping:

• 1/2 cup of light brown sugar, packed
• 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon of all purpose flour
• 1/2 cup of chopped pecans
• 2 tablespoons of melted butter

For the Cake:

• 2 tablespoons of melted butter
• 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup of milk
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup of all purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt
• 2 teaspoons of baking powder

Instructions

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, and add the milk and egg; blend. Sift in the 1 cup of flour, salt and baking powder; beat until smooth. Pour into the prepared baking pan.

Sprinkle the brown sugar topping evenly across the top and 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.
