April 7: National Coffee Cake and Beer Day

Today was a delicious day. I found a really easy recipe that resulted in light and fluffy coffee cake! Of course I tweaked it and added more cinnamon.

JazzyJ's Light And Fluffy Cinnamon-y Coffee Cake:

Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cup flour
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup melted butter
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla

For the crumb top:
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons cinnamon

 Directions:
1. Mix all the ingredients together for the crumb topping and set aside.
2. Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt together in one bowl.
3. In another bowl, beat the egg, sugar and butter together until soft and fluffy. Mix in the milk and vanilla.
4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients.
5. Sprinkle the crumb topping on top. 
6. Pour into a 9" by 9" inch pan and bake for 25 - 30 minutes at 375 degrees.

That was it! It was easy. I wasn't expecting it to be so light and fluffy, which was a nice surprise.

And since it's also National Beer Day...

Just kidding though. I actually hate beer. I didn't drink this one.

But Christopher Henry on the other hand...
