We are officially at the point of the year when sweet treats are socially acceptable to eat anytime – even for breakfast! When you’re craving something rich and decadent to go with your morning coffee, nothing compares to a classic Coffee Cake. Interestingly, the coffee cake doesn’t typically include coffee flavoring – however, take one bite of this classic Coffee Cake recipe, and you’ll understand why it’s a natural complement to the deep, rich taste of hot coffee.

• 1 cup oil
• 2 eggs beaten

Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine oil, eggs, vanilla, and milk.

3. Combine egg mixture with flour mixture. Pour half the batter into a lightly greased 9x13” pan.

5. Sprinkle half of the streusel on top of the batter. Top with remaining batter and then sprinkle the remaining streusel on top.
