This is my favourite coffee cake recipe, which I've turned vegan with great success. Adapted from a sour cream coffee cake recipe that my mom used to make from The Joy of Cooking.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (preferably unbleached)
1 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt (or just a few dashes)
1 cup plain soy yogurt (i use so nice brand)
3 teaspoons egg substitute (such as ener-g)
4 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons flour (whole wheat is good)
1 tablespoon vegan margarine (or use veg. oil plus a dash of salt)
5 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup walnuts or 1/2 cup other nuts
Directions:
1. Make the streusel topping: mix together the 2 tbsp flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, margarine in a small bowl; add nuts and set aside.
2. Sift or stir together the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
3. Stir the egg replacer into the water until mixed (in a large bowl), then add the soy yogurt (be sure to use a brand of soy yogurt that is very smooth and creamy tasting).
4. Add dry ingredients to the yogurt mixture and beat with a spoon just until smooth.
5. Scrape into an 8 or 9 pan, either nonstick or lightly oiled/sprayed.
6. Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the batter.
7. Bake in preheated 350 degrees F oven, for about 30-35 minutes or until done (depends on the size/shape of your pan- you may need to check after 25 min if the pan is quite shallow).
