How To Make easy coffee cake

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 350' I use a glass cake pan but use whatever you have. Keep in mind that the baking time will be shorter in a metal pan and you should probably lower oven temp. by 25 degrees. Grease a 9x13 pan or cover bottom of pan with parchment paper if you have it.
  • Step 2
    In a large bowl whip egg whites to a stiff peak and set aside until the cake batter is ready.
  • Step 3
    In a separate large bowl mix all other ingredients together and beat until smooth.
  • Step 4
    Gently fold egg whites into cake batter by hand. Pour into prepared cake pan and bake until done in the center. 40 to 50 minutes. Cake is done when a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
  • Step 5
    While cake is baking dump the topping ingredients into a food processor and chop until butter is pea size. Remove to a bowl and put in the freezer until cake is done.
  • Step 6
    When cake is done remove from oven. While cake is hot from the oven remove topping from the freezer and sprinkle evenly over the top.
  • Step 7
    You can serve this cake warm or cold. Either way you will get many compliments.
