CREAM FILLED COFFEE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray two 8" round baking pans with cooking spray. Set aside.
• In a medium size bowl, combine all of the ingredients for the cake batter and mix well.
• In a separate bowl, combine the topping ingredients and mix until crumbly.
• In each baking pan, pour 1/4 of the cake batter. Sprinkle 1/4 of the topping on top of the cake batter for each pan. Then repeat with the remaining cake batter and topping. Each pan should be have four layers: cake batter, topping, cake batter, topping.
• Bake the cakes for 30 minutes, until they spring back when you touch the center of them.
• Immediately invert the cakes onto a plate and allow them to cool.
• While the cakes are cooling, you can make the cream filling. In with a stand mixer or hand-held mixer, beat the two egg whites until they are frothy, about 2-3 minutes. In another bowl beat the butter until it is white in appearance. Add the eggs to the butter, then add the powdered sugar and vanilla. Beat for an additional 2-3 minutes until the cream filling is fluffy. Set aside.
• In a small bowl, combine the ingredients for the glaze. The glaze will be thick, but you should still be able to drizzle it on top of the cake. Add more milk if you'd like. Set aside.
• To assemble the cake, place one cake on a serving plate. Spread the cream filling on top of the cake. Then place the second cake on top of the cream filling. Drizzle the glaze on top of the cake. You can even top it with nuts if you'd like!
• Store this cake in the refrigerator.

EASY CAKE MIX COFFEE CAKE (ALSO KNOWN AS BREAKFAST CAKE)

Steps:

• Beat together first four ingredients. Then add eggs one at a time - ( but beat less than two minutes).
• Pour 1/2 batter in a 9x13 pan or Bundt pan and pour 3/4 of the filling on top. Pour remaining batter over filling. Sprinkle remaining filling on top (not too much though as the sugar can burn).
• Bake at 350°F for 55 minutes (usually not this long).
• Glaze-----Heat glaze ingredients until near boiling and glaze while cake is still warm from oven.
• NOTES---I have found that the glaze is hit or miss, some people like it some do not. I have started experimenting with different glazes and have found that a thicker glaze works better for my taste -- DH says it doesn't even need a glaze the cake is so good!

CLASSIC BREAKFAST COFFEE CAKE

Steps:

• For the topping: Prepare a baking sheet fitted with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, combine the nuts, flour, sugars, cinnamon and salt. Stir to blend. Stir in the butter. The topping should form sandy clumps. Sprinkle the topping onto the baking sheet to break it up into smaller clumps. Refrigerate.
• For the coffee cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Use butter to thoroughly grease the bottom and sides of a 13-by-9-inch baking pan. Set aside.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, "cream" the butter and sugar together until light yellow and smooth, 5 to 8 minutes. Alternatively, this can be done with an electric hand mixer. Add the eggs, one by one, and beat until thoroughly integrated.
• Remove the topping from the refrigerator so it has a few minutes to come to room temperature before baking. Meanwhile, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk the sour cream until smooth. Turn the mixer on low and alternate adding some of the flour mixture with some of the sour cream. Add the lemon zest. When all has been mixed, give the sides and the bottom of the bowl a scrape and blend to make sure the batter is thoroughly integrated.
• Transfer the batter to the greased baking pan and "tap" it lightly on the sides so it falls evenly in the pan and removes any air bubbles. Liberally sprinkle the cake with all of the topping. Take care to cover the whole top. Place the pan in the center of the oven and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 22 to 30 minutes. Allow to cool for 30 minutes before serving.
