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 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups milk
Cinnamon Sugar Topping
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
Icing
- 2 tablespoon butter room temperature
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2-3 tablespoon hot water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 °F.
- Add butter to skillet and put into oven to melt while you mix other ingredients.
- Mix flour, sugar, cinnamon, salt, and baking powder in a large mixing bowl. Add 1.5 cup of milk in slowly and mix into the dry ingredients. This will make a thick batter. You can mix by hand or use a hand mixer for this.
- Pull skillet with melted butter from the oven. Swirl the butter around the pan and pour the cake batter into the prepared pan.
- 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 cake batter in an even layer.
- Pop back into the oven for a bake time of 20-25 minutes. You want the edges to start turning brown. Check the center of the cake to make sure it is done. Pull out from oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes.
- 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 the cinnamon sugar layer. It will form into a nice glaze over the top.
- Serve and Enjoy!
