Morning Goodness

Saturday mornings are usually reserved for waking up early and heading downtown to the Farmers Market. However since my husband had his hernia surgery a week ago we are laying low yet again this week to make sure he recovers properly and in good time.

This morning I decided to make some Cinnamon Coffee Cake. So I took a regular recipe and modified it a tad, usually when I modify things I make it healthier…not this time my friends!

Here is the recipe for the batter:

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
2 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup milk
Combine dry ingredients for cake. Beat together egg, oil and milk, then add to dry ingredients.

Here is the recipe for the filling/top crumble-I doubled this recipe but kept them separated.
1/3 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter, softened
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon


I put 1/2 of the batter into a greased pan then put spread one bowl of the crumble mix over the top of the batter. Then I took the remaining batter and place it over the crumble. Lastly take the remaining crumble and place it on the top of the batter.



Bake for 20-25 minutes in a preheated 375 degree oven...beware depending on the type of pan you use it may take longer. Mine took about 35 minutes to cook. Always use the toothpick trick. Insert a toothpick into center of cake and if it comes out gooey it’s not done, if the toothpick comes out clean you are good to go!

It was very good, will for sure make again another time!
