Sunday Morning Coffee Cake
18-May-2008
It’s been some time since I posted this recipe so I thought it was okay to post it again – it really is one of my favorite tried-and-true recipes that I make over and over again.
The recipe comes together in no time and is always a favorite. The cake is fragrant with a light vanilla taste and the topping is a pleasant mix of brown sugar and cinnamon. Pair this with just a cup of coffee and tea and you have a light start to your day. Or use it as part of a complete breakfast – either way you’ll find it hits the spot.
Coffee Cake
-
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup shortening
- 2 cup flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup milk
Mix all ingredients, then spread in a greased 9×13 pan.
Topping
-
- 2 Tbsp butter
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 3/4 brown sugar
- 1/4 cup white sugar
Mix all ingredients until crumbly. Spread evenly over cake.
Bake at 325°F, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
As a variation I sometimes add ½ to ¾ of a cup of chopped walnuts or pecans to the topping.

Hi renay and jenj!
Thanks for stopping by!
jen – this is a great company dish! And, you\’re right – coffee cake has sort of fallen "out of favor". It\’s kind of old-fashioned sounding yet still as tasty as ever! ;-)

The topping just melted over the cake, did you leave something out?
Hi Micky,
I’m sorry that you had trouble with the recipe but the ingredient listing is correct.
