Cinnamon Coffee Cake
Delicious! I had a craving for some coffee cake yesterday so I played with my basic yellow cake recipe and tweaked it into what I think is an easy, moist coffee cake. I've had coffee cakes in the past that were dry and tasted like cinnamon flour garbage but this cake is the opposite. It was so soft and moist it was hard to stop eating it.
Ingredients
2/3 cup butter (softened)
1 3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup apple sauce (no sugar added)
2 1/2 cup AP flour
2 1/2 tsp BP
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1 cup milk
Topping (or layer)
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp white sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
Directions
Cream together butter and sugar. Add eggs in one at a time then vanilla. Mix in the apple sauce. I did not blend this part I used my spatula.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.
With the mixer on low, add a third of the dry ingredients to the wet. Then add a third of the milk. Repeat until all the dry is mixed with the wet.
For the baking part I used a bundt pan. If you use a bundt, pour half the batter in the prepared pan and then layer in the topping mix followed by the rest of the batter. If you choose to use a 13x9, pour all the batter in the prepared pan and top it with the topping mix. My bundt took about 40 minutes in a 350 degree oven. Time would need to be adjusted if you use a different size pan.
