Cowboy Coffee Cake - 1/13/2007

2½ cups flour
½ teaspoon salt
1½ teaspoons baking powder
4 TBS butter
2 eggs
1 cup milk
½ cup brown sugar
½ cup white sugar
Zest from one lemon
Juice of half of that lemon

Topping:
2 TBS butter
2 TBS flour
2 TBS brown sugar
½ cup nuts Mix together the flour, salt and baking powder. Cut in 4 tablespoons butter. Mix, in a separate bowl, the eggs, milk, ½ cup brown and ½ cup white sugar. Mix the liquid ingredients into the dry. Grate the zest into the batter and add the juice from half the lemon. Mix.

Grease and flour a 9 inch square pan. Spoon in the batter.

For the topping rub together the 2 tablespoons of butter, flour and brown sugar and sprinkle that over the top of the coffee cake. Sprinkle ½ cup of nuts over the top.

When I was making this cake I thought I was done at this point, but one of the guides said to me, "Now for the fun part. Poke your finger into the cake and twirl in a few random places."

I was nervous about how long to bake it. We set the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit and I let it go 35 minutes total. That was actually too long because the crust on the outside was way too dark. So, the next time I do this I'll probably let it go for 30 minutes.

It was delicious with butter on it and even better once it was cooled to have with cream cheese spread on.
