Snickerdoodle Coffee Cake, cinnamon sugar cake just like Grandma made. So simple, anyone can make it. No special tools.
James Beard’s Snickerdoodle Coffee Cake
Everyone loves Snickerdoodle Coffee Cake.
This Snickerdoodle Coffee Cake is a quick and easy breakfast cake. 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. It takes only a few minutes to mix it up and 25 minutes to bake.
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.

I just made this today and it was so super easy! Plus it’s made with items that are normally readily available already in the cabinet and fridge. Thanks for sharing.
Excellent! Yes, that’s one of the reasons I love this cake, Shannon.
