Prepare Coffee Cake:
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Pour milk into another bowl; stir in egg and melted butter.
- Pour all at once into the flour mixture and stir just until mixed.
- Pour batter into a greased 8 × 8-inch baking dish.
- Sprinkle the Cinnamon Nut Topping over the top of the batter and bake at 375° for 20-25 minutes or until baked through.
- This is a rather plain Jane coffee cake, but it’s so good that you’ll turn to this recipe again and again.
- It’s also excellent without nuts.
