    Snickerdoodle Coffee Cake is a cinnamon sugar cake just like Grandma made. So simple, anyone can make it. No special tools.

    Snickerdoodle Coffee Cake

    This Snickerdoodle Coffee Cake is a quick and easy breakfast cake topped with a little cinnamon sugar.  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 really 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 it to a party or family gathering, I will 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. Also, it's pretty sweet. You can easily reduce the sugar by half and it will still be very tasty. But 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 better tools than you think you can afford and you'll never be sorry.
