    Amish Cinnamon Coffeecake

    Amish Cinnamon Coffeecake

    By Kevin Williams

    Amish cinnamon coffeecake is a staple of a farmstead breakfast. Bring on the cinnamon! Their popularity has roots in its accessibility and portability.  To make a simple, tasty coffeecake, most Amish cooks already have the ingredients they need in their pantry.  And it also travels well.  Take it out of the oven, stick it in some sort of Tupperware container and load it onto the buggy. Easy.  Coffeecakes, like doughnuts and other pastries, add a sweet balance to a savory morning meal usually loaded up with eggs, bacon, and sausage.

    In the wider world, coffeecakes are popular Christmas morning menu items. My mother-in-law almost always makes a delicious coffeecake.

    An Amish cook in Walhonding, Ohio (this is a very progressive Amish settlement) gave me this coffeecake recipe that is popular in their family.  Longtime reader and friend Barbara in Missouri tested this for me and I want to thank her for doing such an outstanding job.    Glad I did not test the recipe because I would have just eaten it and, yea, well, wouldn't be great for the diet.  Anyway, give this delicious recipe a try!
