Murph’s Christmas Coffee Cake

2 eggs or (egg replacement)

8 tbs butter (= one stick) or margarine or vegan butter replacement

1 cup sugar

Mix and Cream the above together with beater

Add

1 Tsp Vanilla

8 ounces sour cream, or light sour cream, (vegans use Tofutti Soy Sour Cream)

Blend the above together and put aside.

In a separate bowl, mix thoroughly the following dry ingredients with a fork.

2 cups of flour

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

½ tsp salt

When the dry ingredients are nice and confused, combine the dry with the wet ingredients

Mix a shaker full of cinnamon and sugar = 1 Tbs cinnamon to ½ cup sugar

Now the tricky part:

Grease, with Crisco, and flour the cake pan (Pam nonstick spray and flour also works)

Glop half of the cake batter in the cake pan

Cover the first half with the cinnamon and sugar mix

Glop the other half of the cake mix on top of the cinnamon and sugar mix

Cover it all again with the cinnamon and sugar mix.

The batter can be smoothed out between sugar sprinkling with a warm wet spoon if needed.

Bake it in an oven at 350 degrees for 30 to 40 minutes, or until a butter knife poked in the middle comes out clean, with no wet batter on it.

Cool it a bit, dump it out of the cake pan, and eat it. 

Enjoy!
