Progressive Dinner Party

Hello All!

This will be a different post than usual. I'm participating in a blog progressive dinner with other bloggers, so I need to post my recipe for my participation. I hope to collect other recipes from other participants, but if I don't actually cook/bake anything, I won't gain anything :). Or, I can cook/bake one thing at a time.

My contribution is a coffee cake from a recipe I got from my mom, Toby Cheney; I don't know where she got the recipe:

CINNAMON STREUSEL COFFEE CAKE

Preheat oven to 375 degrees

1 1/1 cups of sugar

1/2 cup of soft shortening

2 large eggs

1 cup of milk

3 cups of sifted flour

4 tsp. of baking powder

1 tsp. salt

2 tsp. vanilla

Streusel Mixture

1 cup of brown sugar, packed

4 Tbsp. flour

4 tsp. cinnamon

4 Tbsp. melted butter

Mix sugar, shortening and eggs thoroughly.

Stir in milk.

Add vanilla.

Sift dry ingredients together, and add to first mixture a little at a time.

Spread 1/2 of batter in greased 9x13 pan

Add 1/2 of streusel mixture

Add remaining batter, and top with remaining streusel mixture

Bake at 375 for 25 to 35 minutes.

Enjoy! This is one of my favorite things!!!

Happy Holidays & Happy Reading!
