Tuesdays at the Table - Coffee Cake

As all my cubicle-mates will tell you, I have a dangerous addition to coffee cake muffins.  Seriously.  Want my day to start on the wrong foot?  Be the Dunkin Donuts drive-thru team member that hands me a chocolate chip muffin instead of coffee cake.

So this week I'm sharing my favorite coffee cake recipe.  Thanks to those of you linking up and sharing your recipes!  I love you for it. <3 br="" nbsp="">

Coffee Cake

Topping:

3/4 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup sifted all-purpose flour

1/4 cup butter, room temperature

1 teaspoon cinnamon

Cake:

1 1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour (sift before measuring)

2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 egg, beaten

3/4 cup sugar

1/2 cup melted butter

1/3 cup milk

2 teaspoon vanilla extract

In small mixing bowl, combine topping ingredients. Blend with fork until crumbly. Set aside.

In a medium bowl, combine together beaten egg, sugar and melted butter. Add milk and vanilla. Stir in flour, baking powder and salt, mixing well. 

Pour batter into a greased and floured  9-inch layer-cake pan. Sprinkle topping crumb mixture evenly over batter. Bake at 375° for 25 to 30 minutes, when a toothpick will come out clean. Partially cool in pan on wire rack. Cut coffee cake into squares while still warm.
