This melt-in-your-mouth coffeecake is the perfect treat. I've been eating this cake for as long as I can remember. It's a favorite at family get-togethers. It's been passed down from my great-granny who thought it up in her kitchen years ago. Perfect with a cup of coffee or glass of milk. To make sour milk use 1 TBSP vinegar with 1 cup of milk and let stand for 10-15 minutes, or use buttermilk instead. Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups flour |
1/2 cup shortening |
1 cup sugar |
1 cup brown sugar |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1 egg |
1 teaspoon cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1 1/2 cups sour milk |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Mix flour, sugar, & salt. Cut in shortening. Save 1/3 cup of the crumbs for topping.
3. Put the rest of the ingredients in a mixing bowl and beat well.
4. Bake in square or rectangular baking pan for about 40 minutes or until top is golden brown (can take a little longer or shorter depending on the pan used and if you add berries). Could also use toothpick trick: insert toothpick into cake and if it comes out clean the cake is ready.
