Recently I was at the car dealers waiting for my car to be serviced when a lady came in and noticed I was reading a cooking magazine. We started chatting and I told her all about my website. We talked for quite some time about different coffee cakes and she mentioned that her daughter bakes a delicious cinnamon coffee cake. I asked if her daughter would be willing to share the recipe and I jotted down my address. A few days later, this recipe was tucked beneath my front door! So, the next day, I decided to give it a whirl. I was a little worried, as the batter was very thick, but it baked up quite nicely. I cut the recipe in half because there’s only the two of us. I used an 8×8″ pan and stayed with the same baking time and temperature. This reminded me of a European coffee cake with a crumbly texture. It sounds like a lot of cinnamon, but honestly, it was just perfect. I wish I knew the lady’s name so I could thank her for sharing this recipe. I guess I’ll just have to eat a second piece in her honor!
