Is there anything better than the smell of cinnamon on a Sunday morning?
Cinnamon Streusel Coffee Cake
adapted from McCall's Cooking School
Topping
1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
2 tablespoons melted butter
2 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Batter
1 1/2 cups flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg
3/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup melted butter
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease an 8x8 pan.

Combine topping ingredients in a small bowl. Mix with a fork until crumbly.

In medium bowl, beat egg with whisk until frothy. Add sugar and butter and beat to combine. Stir in milk and vanilla and mix well. Add flour, baking powder and salt and mix. Batter will be thick and creamy.

Spoon half of batter into prepared pan and spread to evenly cover bottom of the pan. Sprinkle half of streusel topping evenly over the batter. Spread remaining batter on top, then sprinkle rest of the topping.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until light golden brown and tester inserted in center of cake comes out clean. Let cool 10-15 minutes before cutting. Serve warm.
By the way, I haven't forgotten my new (supposed) regular feature...Finger Food Fridays. I was sick all this past week so there was no cooking or blogging of any kind at our house. I have a great recipe all ready for next week, though, so stay tuned!
