Coffee Cake Breakfast Milkshake Food

FRENCH FARMHOUSE BREAKFAST CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour a 9-inch round cake pan, then line with parchment paper and butter and flour the paper.
• Sift flour, baking powder, nutmeg and salt in a large bowl.
• Using an electric mixer, cream the butter until it is pale yellow. Add vanilla and sugar; mix until fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Gradually add the flour, being careful not to over-mix the batter.
• Transfer batter to prepared pan. Tap it on the counter once or twice to shake out any air bubbles.
• Bake until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 25-30 minutes.
• Allow the cake to cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 10 minutes, then remove from the pan to continue cooling.
• Once the cake is completely cool, dust with powdered sugar, slice and serve.

CINNAMON COFFEE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F and grease an 8x8" square baking pan with cooking spray and set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder.
• Use a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the flour mixture until a coarse crumb forms.
• Add in the egg, milk, and vanilla and mix with a rubber spatula just until combined. The batter will be lumpy. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan.
• In a small bowl, mix together the cinnamon and brown sugar, then sprinkle it over the top of the batter in the pan. Use a butter knife to cut lines through the batter. Sprinkle the top with the chopped walnuts, if desired.
• Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, then allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes on a cooling rack.
• Whisk together the water and powdered sugar to make the glaze and drizzle over the top of the cake before slicing and serving.

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.
