Snickerdoodle Coffee Cake

This recipe is from one of my favorite essential cookbooks, James Beard's American Cookery. If you don't have an excellent American cookbook, you need one. You can find most answers in it, and it's a pure pleasure to page through.

This cake hits the spot anytime, but I usually make it for a Saturday or Sunday breakfast. It takes only a few minutes to mix up and 25 minutes to bake.

If I take the coffee cake to a party or family gathering, I double the recipe and put it in a 9" x 13" pan. If you don't double the recipe, then use an 8" x 8" cake pan.

It's pretty sweet. You can easily reduce the sugar by half, and it will still be very tasty. Don't scrimp on the topping. It's the best part.

WHAT YOU NEED

You need mixing bowls, a wire whisk or an electric mixer, measuring cups and spoons, and a cake pan. But what you want is some wonderful canisters, lovely dishes to serve your cake on, and a terrific coffee maker or espresso machine. Buy the best tools you can afford, and you'll never be sorry.
