Coffee Cake

This is one of our family's favorite breakfast meals. My brother requested that I send it to him in Colombia so I finally took the time to type it up. Originally it is in the Betty Crocker Cookbook. Have I ever mentioned how much I love that lady? Yes I know she doesn't really exist but that's a secret.




Batter                                                             Streusel
  2 cups flour                                                    2/3 cup Packed brown sugar
  1 cup sugar                                                    1/2 cup flour
  3 tsp baking powder                                       1 tsp. Ground cinnamon
  1/3 c butter or margarine                                1/3 cup softened butter or margarine
  1 tsp. Salt
  1 egg
  1 cup milk

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare streusel by combining all the ingredients together until it is crumbly. Make the batter by combining all ingredients in a large mixing bowl on low speed for 30 seconds. Beat on med speed for 2 minutes scraping the sides of the bowl occasionally. Spread half of the batter in a greased 9x13 pan. Sprinkle half of the streusel mixture. Top with remaining batter then the rest of the streusel mixture. Bake for 35-40 minutes. 

Update:

Ok so remember how I am horrible for cooking for one person. This recipe makes wayyyy too much for one person. My solution? Make muffins instead! Spoon roughly 1/4 cup of batter into paper wrapper lined muffin tins. Add 1 tbsp. streusel, and another dollop of batter and another tbsp. of streusel. Makes about 1 dozen muffins. You can freeze the muffins at this point or bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes (this is less time than the normal pan way).
