Cafe Au Lait Coffee Cake image

A moist, delicious coffee time treat from the 1998 Milk Calendar. I have increased the baking time from the original recipe as I find the centre is still very doughy after only one hour in the oven.

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 teaspoon instant coffee granules
1/2 cup brown sugar
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
6 tablespoons butter, chilled and cut into cubes
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 1/4 cups pecans, chopped

2 tablespoons instant coffee granules
2 tablespoons water, warmed

1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

  • Dissolve the instant coffee in the warm water and beat into the egg mixture.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the remaining dry ingredients.
  • On low speed, gradually add the dry ingredients, alternating with milk. There should be three additions of dry and two of wet ingredients.
  • Beat well after each addition.
  • Spread 1/2 of the batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle with 1-1/2 cups of the crumb topping.
