Who doesn’t love coffee cake?? Especially when it’s warm and fresh out of the oven! We had a long weekend and I wasn’t able to get to the grocery store. I had to wake up the kids for school this morning when I realized that I had just under a cup of milk… so no cereal or oatmeal… and we only had a few eggs… so no eggs and toast either! I wasn’t sure what I was going to do for breakfast, when I realized I DID have everything for coffee cake! If I can whip this up on a school morning for my four chitlins and my neighbors three as well…. then you KNOW it has to be an easy and quick recipe!! :-) They devoured the coffee cake and wanted second and third helpings… if I had let them! But I have a friend coming over this morning… so I made them save her ONE piece! :-) They were happy campers as they trotted off to school after having “CAKE” and bananas for breakfast. I might be in trouble though…. I think I’ve opened pandora’s box on this one! They’re going to want Coffee Cake every morning now!! Uh oh…… ;-)
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour

- In large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, milk and egg. Stir together. Add the butter and beat vigorously for 30 seconds.
- Grease a round 9 inch baking pan with butter. Add a Tablespoon of flour into the pan and "flour" the pan. Dump out the excess flour. If you don't have a 9 inch baking pan, you can use on 8 or 9 inch square pan.
- Spread the batter into your greased and floured pan.
- In a small bowl, combine your topping ingredients. With a pastry cutter, or fork, mix until crumbly. Sprinkle topping over batter. Bake 25-30 minutes or until wooden toothpick comes out clean when inserted into center of cake.

PERFECT – I am in the middle of moving and still have the ingredients in my canisters and thought I’d have to dump them this morning – but no! Instead I get to use them up and have a wonderful smelling house and delicious treat!! Can’t wait – thank you!
