Lois's Best Coffee Cake




Source of Recipe


From Maggie's (maggiethecat at eG) mom's recipe file


Recipe Introduction


This was the subject of Maggie's lovely essay, Swans and Streusel, on eGullet. A really easy and good coffee cake. I read the essay and saw the recipe and 45 minutes later I was taking this tender, fragrant coffee cake out of the oven!



List of Ingredients




1/4 C butter
1/3 C sugar
1 egg
2/3 C milk
1 t vanilla
1-1/2 C flour
1/4 t salt
2 t baking powder

TOPPING:
brown sugar
cinnamon
butter


Recipe



Preheat oven to 375 degrees and grease a 8"x8" pan.

Cream the butter and sugar. Beat in the egg, milk and vanilla.

Sift together the flour, salt and baking powder. Add to the butter mixture and mix well. Spread in the prepared pan and top with the brown sugar, cinnamon and small bits of butter (I used a little shredder and 'shredded' some very cold butter on the top). Bake for 25 minutes. Serve hot, spread with butter.

Maggie says that you can add coconut or nuts, if you like.
