Easy Cinnamon Swirl Coffee Cake

For deer hunting opener, it's been a tradition in our family to send the hunters off with a hearty breakfast each morning. Knowing that we were going to be up very early (4:00AM, to be exact!), I decided to make some coffee cake to add to the meal. I figured it would be beneficial to have one less thing to cook in the wee hours of the morning. :)

I've made this coffee cake a few times with the residents at my work, and it is always a hit! We always have to be sure we have enough to go around, because there's never any leftover. :)

Ingredients

2 c. flour

2 Tbsp. baking powder

1 tsp. cinnamon

1 tsp. salt

1 c. milk

1 c. sugar

1/2 c. butter, melted

2 eggs

Topping:

1/2 c. sugar

2 tsp. cinnamon

Directions

Combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a large mixing bowl.

Whip in milk, sugar, melted butter, and eggs.

Pour into a greased 9x13 cake pan and set aside.

In a small bowl, stir together the sugar and cinnamon for the topping.

Sprinkle it over the cake mixture.

Using a butter knife, cut it through the mixture, swirling it around.

Bake at 350 degrees for 15-25 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
