Coffee Cake

I was trying to find a different "special" breakfast for Christmas morning. Growing up we always had Dutch Babies and although I do enjoy them I wanted to find something different. This year I found it. Coffee Cake, and seriously the best Coffee Cake I've ever had. I loved that I could fix it and throw it in the oven and serve, no "extras" no need for syrup, or powdered sugar.  Next time you're looking for something different for breakfast, doesn't even need to be a special occasion give this a try. I promise you'll love it

Coffee Cake
2 cups all purpose flour
3/4 cup white sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 butter (softened)
1 egg
3/4 cup milk or buttermilk
2 tsp vanilla bean paste

Topping
1/4 cup all purpose flour
2/3 cup white sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
1/4 butter (softened)

Preheat oven to 350
Grease a 9X13 pan
In a bowl mix (topping ingredients) add all dry ingredients and then cut in butter until crumbly
In a separate bowl mix cake ingredients. Add flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cut in butter.
Mix should be coarse crumbles
In a small bowl mix egg, milk and vanilla together
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. This batter will be VERY thick.
Spread batter into pan and top with crumble topping
Cook 25-30 minutes
Enjoy!!!
I even think this would be amazing around Halloween and Thanksgiving with some canned pumpkin in the cake batter part. I can only eat pumpkin flavor in the Fall, so I won't be able to try it until next year.
