Christmas Morning Breakfast Cake

NICHOLE PETERSON

THIS BREAKFAST CAKE has been in my life for as long as I can remember! Waking up on Christmas morning to the smell of breakfast in the oven is such a special memory to me, and I hope to share the magic with all of you.

For the batter: • 1/2 cup butter (softened) • 1 cup sugar • 2 eggs • 1 cup sour cream • 1 1/2 cups flour • 1 tsp baking soda • 1/2 tsp baking powder • Dash of salt • 1 tsp vanilla

For the crumb topping: • 1 cup brown sugar • 4 Tbsp flour • 4 tsp cinnamon • 4 Tbsp melted butter

Instructions: In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together the butter and sugar until combined and fluffy. Add in two eggs and lightly mix. Mix in sour cream. In another bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Add dry mixture to the wet mixture. Once combined, stir in vanilla (a little more vanilla than what it calls for will NEVER hurt!). owner, Colie’s Kitchen For the crumb topping, combine all ingredients to form a crumble (the texture of damp sand).

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease an 8-inch square pan with cooking spray.

Pour half of the batter in the pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle with half of the crumb mixture and spread so it covers all of the batter. Carefully spread remaining batter on top of the crumb layer (try not to mix it in, lightly spread to keep the layers as separate as possible).

Cover the whole thing with the remaining

crumb mixture. Bake for 45 minutes or until the center isn’t wobbly (toothpick comes out clean).

Once out of the oven, let sit for about 10 minutes before serving. My family likes to spread warm butter on top. You will love this delicious family recipe!
