Original 1954 Old Fashioned Coffee Cake - Los Angeles Unified School District

 Hi Friends,

If you went to school back in the 1960's or 1970's, you may remember

this delicious Coffee Cake.

It was the reason to get to school early.

The school cafeteria had kids

 lining up for a warm slice.... and the slices were big.

Here is the original recipe-






Old Fashioned Coffee Cake

2  1/2 cups  Flour
1 cup  Brown Sugar, packed
1 cup + 1 Tbsp. Granulated Sugar
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. ground Nutmeg
3/4 cup  Oil
1 tsp. Cinnamon
1tsp. Baking Soda
1 tsp. Baking Powder
1  large Egg, beaten
1 cup Buttermilk       OR whole milk +1Tbsp. White Vinegar 
                                   OR 3/4 cup Sour Cream + 1/4 cup water


 Combine the first six ingredients. Mixture will be crumbly. Set aside 1/2 cup of this mixture for topping, add cinnamon to the topping portion.
Combine next ingredients to the first, do not over mix.
Pour into a greased 9'' x 13'' baking pan.
Sprinkle reserved topping mixture over batter.
Bake 350 degrees for 25 min.


In a large bowl combine first 6 ingredients. 


    Mix until crumbly.



in another bowl, set aside 1/2 cup topping.




Mix oil, milk and egg.




Reserved topping with cinnamon added.



Top with crumb topping.

Bake 350 degrees 25-30 min.



Serve warm.
Enjoy-




Aways handwash Pyrex to keep the colors vibrant.

A little cooking oil will bring back color to a dull surface.



I love my primary colored Pyrex Bowls!




I found this ad don't you love the price ?



I have an extra red bowl for my set-

We use it for Christmas and Valentines !

I hope you enjoyed a little nostalgia today.

Tell me if you remember this recipe or had a similar

school cafeteria favorite.
