    I absolutely love those fresh baked coffee cakes that you find at a good bakery and I was on a hunt for a recipe similar to have at home. I wanted big mountains of crumbs not little pieces that fall off as the fork approaches your mouth. Well it took alot of searching but I finally decided to put 2 recipes together to come up with the best ever Coffee Cake. Grab yourself a huge glass of milk and enjoy!!!

    Ingredients

    • Crumbs:
    • 1/3 Cup Dark Brown Sugar
    • 1/3 Cup Granulated Sugar
    • 1 Teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
    • 1/2 Teaspoon Ground Ginger
    • 1/8 Teaspoon Salt
    • 1/2 Cut Butter, melted
    • 1 3/4 Cups Cake Flour (all purpose flour works well also)
    • Cake:
    • 2 Cups Flour
    • 3/4 Cup Sugar
    • 2 Teaspoons Baking Powder
    • 1/2 Teaspoon Salt
    • 1/2 Cup Butter or Margarine
    • 1 Teaspoon Vanilla
    • 1 Egg
    • Orange Juice
    • Confectioners sugar, optional

    Directions

    1. Crumbs:
    2. Mix all ingredients together to form a ball.
    3. Set aside.
    4. Cake:
    5. Crack egg into a measuring cup.
    6. Add enough orange juice so that the egg and juice together make 1 cup.
    7. Mix all cake ingredients together until smooth.
    8. Pour into a greased 8x8 pan.
    9. Add topping, spread evenly on top of Coffee Cake Batter.
    10. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes.
    11. Let cool.
    12. Sprinkle confections sugar on top.
    13. Tips from Denise:
    14. 1. Since these are 2 different recipes there will be more crumbs don't over do it otherwise it will take alot longer for the cake to cook.
    15. 2. Because the crumbs are large, set your timer for 25 minutes, but check cake every 5 to 10 minutes after that. Test with toothpick.
    16. 3. You can use light brown sugar, but do not add extra sugar to compensate for the sweetness, the crumbs carmelize and become hard and and taste like burnt sugar.
