Scott came home today with the Wednesday Recipe in the local newspaper. This recipe was actually one where I had all the ingredients. I thought why not and give it a try.
It's a pretty straight forward recipe and not hard to follow. I think the only recommendation is to cook it a little longer than what the recipe said. Other than that, it's outstanding. It's moist and melt in your mouth. Buttery and Sweet. I don't think is the typical coffeecake. It's a bit heavier than most coffeecakes but so good and dense in a sense. I loved the filling, like a cinnamon roll. I also used Brown Sugar instead of regular sugar in the filling as written in the recipe below. I added some cinnamon into the batter to just give a little more cinnamon kick but you can skip that if you'd like.
I baked mine into a bundt pan but the recipe didn't state whether to bake in a 9x13 pan or a bundt pan.
I really love the taste of it. The whole family loved it so it's a winner and added to my list of recipes. I think the newspaper however needs to recheck their writing on how to completely write a recipe out.
If I had to describe this cake it was like eating a cake, a cinnamon roll and a donut all in one. Yes, it was that good! So if I had to call it something, I guess I would call it a Cinnamon Roll Coffeecake. Perfect to serve at Breakfast, Brunch, Coffee or Tea or as a dessert after dinner. This would be great for any Tea Party!
