Snickerdoodle Coffee Cake

Hi. It’s Lois in the kitchen with Recipe Idea Shop. This Snickerdoodle Coffee Cake is a quick and easy breakfast cake that everyone loves. Topped with a little cinnamon sugar, it originally comes from one of my favorite basic cookbooks, James Beard’s American Cookery. If you don’t have a good American cookbook, you need one. You can find most answers in it and it’s a pure pleasure to page through.

This coffee cake really hits the spot anytime, but I usually make it for a Saturday or Sunday breakfast. If I’m taking it to Quaker Meeting, 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.

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.
