Quick Cinnamon Coffee Cake

This cake is very much like the famous "Cinnabons" you buy in the mall! Just missing the icing!

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

6 tablespoons white sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/3 cup vegatable oil

1/2 cup milk

1 egg

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 tablespoons butter, melted

1/2 cup brown sugar

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

　

(optional: I added some crushed walnuts into the cinnamon sugar crumble that goes on the top)

　

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9 inch square pan.

2. In a large bowl mix together the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Cut in the shortening with a pastry blender to the size of small peas.

3. In a separate small bowl, beat the egg well, then stir in the milk and vanilla. Add the egg-milk mixture to the flour mixture all at once. Stir carefully until just blended.

4. Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly. Drizzle top with melted butter.

5. In a small bowl mix together brown sugar, 2 tablespoons flour and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon.

Sprinkle on top of cake. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to

20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
