Did you ever get a craving for sweets that you couldn't get rid of? I think everyone has that problem at one time or another, but that was me tonight. This incredible craving for something sweet and the need to bake something. I killed two birds with one stone because I also wanted to find out how well my toaster oven bakes a dessert. Up until this point, I have only been using it to cook meals and the occasional toasted sandwich.
I wasn't in the mood for something that contained chocolate and most know that I'm not that fond of chocolate to begin with. I know, I know... what woman doesn't like chocolate?? Trust me, I'm definitely not normal in that respect. So to find my "sweet something" I turned to my trusted site of Supercook. It led me to this coffee cake recipe. Thanks to @startnover for contributing this recipe to the site.
I can't recall ever making a coffee cake... at least not in the past ten years. Perhaps I did in my previous life? Maybe any of my family can verify this - if they read the blog?
My memory also is lacking with the texture of the coffee cake. Are they supposed to be dense? The batter was pretty thick - perhaps it's because I used evaporated milk instead of regular milk? I CAN say, however, that the flavor of this one is very, very good! Don't get me wrong, the texture is definitely not a bad thing. It tasted like snickerdoodles and if you don't know what a snickerdoodle is... that's a shame. Google it!
I give this recipe a gold star!
Bet you can't guess what I'll be having with my coffee in the morning... HA!
It looks delicious! How did the toaster oven work with this recipe?
ReplyDeleteHi there! The toaster oven worked great for this recipe. I set it to the "bake" option and used an eight-inch round aluminum cake pan. I added between five and ten minutes extra at the end of the required bake time but that's probably an adjustment regardless of what oven someone would use.
