This month: Coffeecake Recipes
In this issue of the Breakfast and Brunch Express, find some old-fashioned coffeecake recipes that will have you reminiscing about simpler days when it was okay to take a break and chat with friends. Hopefully, with the holidays right around the corner, you will find a few extra minutes to talk with your neighbor or a friend you haven't seen in a while.
Sitting down with a sweet piece of cake and a warm beverage has always been a hospitable way to share some time together with those persons in your life that you just don't get to see a lot of anymore. It is also a delicious addition to a weekend brunch menu.
Coffeecakes are usually made up of a cake base combined with fruit and sometimes nuts. The idea of having a piece of cake with your coffee for breakfast or brunch is certainly nothing new, but seems to have fallen by the wayside in favor of pre-packaged goodies and expensive cups of coffee. These recipes go together quickly and easily and just might give you an incentive to invite a neighbor over to chat.

Coffeecakes
Easy Coffeecake:
A quick and easy coffeecake to make when company is coming on short notice. This sweet cake is topped with a crunchy brown sugar and chopped pecan topping and drizzled with a bit of vanilla sauce over the warm cake.
Crumb Coffeecake:
This is one of my favorite recipes. It is a moist cake with a tender crumb topping that just tastes like an old-fashioned cake should. It is made with the good stuff like eggs, milk, butter, and sugar. Serve this as part of a holiday brunch menu.
Peach Cobbler:
While a cobbler is quite a bit different than a coffeecake, I couldn't resist sharing this recipe with you. It is sooo good! Serve this plain with a cup of coffee or tea or use it as a dessert by dressing it with a splash of cream or a scoop of ice cream. Quick and easy with only 15 minutes prep time.
Fruit Cocktail Coffeecake:
This is a fun recipe that both children and adults will love! Made with canned fruit cocktail and topped with a cream cheese frosting, this sweet cake can be served for brunch, an afternoon coffee or as a dessert.

A Helpful Hint:
To avoid lumps in batter, add a pinch of salt to the flour before it is wet.Quote for the Day:
"Why is it that our memory is good enough to retain the least triviality that happens to us, and yet not good enough to recollect how often we have told it to the same person?"
