Quick Coffee Cake

By LadyRev-2

This may be the first thing I learned to bake. I used to bake it as a kid. The original card was so tattered and torn I could hardly read it to transfer to this new file.

Ingredients

• 2 cups flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup shortening
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 egg, beaten
• vanilla

Preparation

Step 1

Turn oven on to 350 degrees

Mix dry ingredients until well blended and "crumbly." Reserve 1/2 cup for the top.

Add wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Mix well

Put mixture into square loaf pan. Sprinkle with the reserved crumbs.

Bake until knife inserted into center of loaf comes out dry.

(this mix quite thick. Also, I like to add chopped pecans or walnuts into the reserved crumb mixture that is put on top).
