Coffee Cake

August 5, 2015 by Lois Britton Leave a Comment

My colleagues  and I decided it was time to reinstitute a monthly birthday celebration at our staff meetings. I won’t be the only one providing treats, but as one of the instigators, I felt that I should kick it off. I looked through my recipes and Pinterest for inspiration, but the last week was been so full, that at the last minute, I decided to make a coffee cake. Sometimes, simple is better.

I grabbed a recipe from The Pioneer Woman before I left the office, to use as a shopping list. This would have been her recipe exactly if I hadn’t had broken the yolk on the last egg I was separating. That led to a slight modification.

I ended up making two cakes, one for work and one for Ed to enjoy at home. I got off easy because there wasn’t a request for a third but vegan version of the cake from our daughter. It was well received all around, a rich, moist cake, with oodles of yummy crumble topping.

I snapped this photo when I arrived this morning, just because there are so many beautiful vistas on our church campus. I’ll have to write a post about it later with photos that do it justice, maybe in the fall when all of the plants have recovered from the summer heat. I hope you’re staying cool wherever you are!
