Easy Coffee Cake

And yet another recipe extolling the virtues of Bisquick... This time in a sweet form!  I got this recipe from the Salad In a Jar blog. 


Ingredients:
Batter
1-1/3 cup Bisquick
3 tbs sugar
2 tsp melted butter
1/2 cup milk
1 egg
Topping
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1/3 cup Bisquick
1/4 cup melted butter


Directions:
1.  Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and preheat the pan (I used an 8 inch square pan).
2.  Whisk together melted butter, milk, and egg.  Add to medium bowl of Bisquick and sugar.

 3.  Pour into pan.

 4.  For the topping, mix all the ingredients together.

 5.  Add it on top of your batter.

 6.  Bake for 20-21 minutes until it looks delicious, like mine!

Verdict: Another yum recipe!  It came out very fluffy and light.  Joseph likened it to a pancake with coffee cake topping, which sounds delicious to me! Perfect for after dinner with ice cream!  Or with coffee, I suppose, if you're into that stuff.  Or breakfast.  You can basically eat it any time you're craving something sweet.  I also feel like it'd be nice to bring (if I took it out of the old pan) to a get together with friends.  Also, according to the blog I got this from, the coffee cake should work well if mixed beforehand, covered, and refrigerated before baking it when you need it (although the baking time will increase).  However, I'm the kind of person where if I've made it, I want to eat it right away so I can't attest to that.


To my best calculation, if the cake were divided into 12 servings, each serving would have around 130 calories.
