Ingredients:
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter
2 beaten eggs
1/2 cup warm milk
1 pkg yeast (2 teaspoons bulk yeast) dissolved in 3 tablespoons warm water
3 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Topping:
2/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon
4 tablespoons melted butter or margarine
1/2 cup nuts or maraschino cherries, candied red or green cherries
Directions:
- Cream together sugar and butter.
- To that mixture add eggs, milk, 1 package of yeast (2 tablespoons bulk yeast) dissolved in 3 tablespoons of warm water, flour, salt and vanilla.
- Beat all of these ingredients together.
- Set aside the dough and let it rise until it doubles in size.
- When the dough has risen to double the size (this may take about 2 hours) put it in a 9x13" greased pan and spread with topping
- Topping - combine sugar, cinnamon, melted butter and nuts (you can use maraschino cherries or candied red and green cherries if you don't like nuts)
- Place coffee cake in a cold oven and leave it in there overnight to rise.
- The next morning turn oven to 350 degrees and bake for 1/2 hour.
- Take out and serve warm.
- This makes one large coffee cake or put dough in two round pans instead for one coffee cake to share!
