Equipment

  • 1 cast iron skillet
  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • 1 small mixing bowl
  • measuring cups
  • measuring spoons
  • whisk
  • spatula
  • basting brush

Ingredients
  

Coffee Cake

  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 2 cups flour
  • 2/3 cups sugar
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1.5 cups milk

Cinnamon Sugar Topping

  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon

Icing

  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 2-3 tbsp hot water

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven tp 400 degrees.
  • Add butter to skillet and put in oven to melt while you mix other ingredients.
  • Mix flour, sugar, cinnamon, salt, and baking powder in a large bowl. Add milk in slowly and mix it all together.
  • Pull skillet with melted butter from the oven, and pour in the batter. The melted butter will gather around the edges. Take a basting brush and spread the butter over the top of the batter.
  • Once the butter is spread over the top of the batter, sprinkle the teaspoon of sugar and the teaspoon of cinnamon over the top of the batter.
  • Pop back into the oven for 20-25 min. You want the edges to start turning brown. Check the middle to make sure it is done.
  • While it's cooling, add butter, powdered sugar and vanilla to a bowl. Start by adding 1 tablespoon of HOT water at a time to the mixture. Do not use more than 3 tablespoons total of water. Mix well.
  • Once the coffee cake has cooled some, pour the icing over it. It will form into a nice glaze over the top the coffee cake.
  • Serve and Enjoy!
