Coffee Cake

Hello there my dears! Happy eve of Christmas Eve! It’s time for a recipe and a backstory. The recipe is for some delicious coffee cake (YUM!!!). Now I found out a few years ago I’m allergic to eggs so this is an eggless coffee cake, but you would never be able to tell. Every Christmas my family has coffee cake for breakfast, this tradition stopped when I found out I couldn’t consume eggs. All the other recipes I’ve tried have been flops but this one is PERFECT! Hope you all enjoy and a merry almost Christmas, thanks for reading, Kirstin.

Eggless Coffee Cake  

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups sifted unbleached all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon salt 3/4 cup white sugar 3 teaspoons egg replacer (dry) 4 tablespoons water

1.	Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x9 inch baking pan.
2.	In a large mixing bowl resift flour with the baking powder, baking soda, salt and 3/4 cup of sugar. In a separate bowl combine the egg replacer and water (2 eggs' worth) and mix in sour cream substitute and vanilla. Pour the 'egg' mixture into the flour mixture and beat until smooth. Spread batter in baking pan. Sprinkle blueberries (optional) and/or walnuts (optional) over the batter, and stir slightly so that they stay in the top layer.
3.	In a small bowl, combine the 5 tablespoons sugar, margarine and cinnamon. Mix with a fork until mixture resembles cornmeal (not smooth). Sprinkle topping over batter.
