Coffee Cake

I grew up with this recipe. It was my favorite thing to bake as a tween and beyond. I had it last year for my birthday and I must say, my tastes are changing. This cake is really, really sweet. Delicious, but sweet.

Here you go!:

In a large bowl mix:

1 1/2 sugar (of course!)
1/4 Cup + 2 T butter
2 eggs
1 tsp salt
5 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 C milk
3 C flour


Topping:

In a medium size bowl:

1 1/3 C Br. sugar
1 C flour
1/2 C Butter
2 tsp Cinnamon

Mixes best by hand, though if you are patient a spoon or fork will do.

In greased 9 x 13 pan, layer:
2/3 batter
1/2 topping
remaining batter
remaining topping

Bake at 350 F for 50-60 min or until light brown and toothpick comes clean.
