CHRISTMAS MORNING COFFEE CAKE





This one I have made and LOVE it!! It isn't just for Christmas. I
have given it as a house warming gift, neighbor welcome and used as
brunch! Let me know how you like it.

Buy a 9" or 10" round glass dish suitable for micro waving. Add
coffee cake batter (to be refrigerated and micro waved the following
morning), or add a bag of ingredients along with nuts and raisins
for easy mixing. Attach the recipe and tie the gift with colored
cellophane and a nice bow.

Make the batter and deliver the gift to a neighbor Christmas Eve, to
refrigerate and cook the next day. Give the dish and ingredients to
a new microwave owner or as a hostess gift. Or microwave the coffee
cake for the annual family Christmas breakfast.

1/3 cup butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 cup all purpose flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/2 cup sour cream
1/3 cup chopped nuts
1/2 cup golden raisins

Topping:

1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 tsp cinnamon

CREAM together butter, sugars and egg. Stir together flour, soda,
salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. STIR in half the flour mixture, then half
the sour cream, beating the mix well. Add remaining flour mixture,
then sour cream. Fold in nuts and raisins. SPREAD in greased 9"
round glass baking dish. Mix topping ingredients; sprinkle over
batter. Cover and refrigerate overnight. MICROWAVE, uncovered, at
HIGH 8 minutes, turning if necessary, until moisture disappears on
top and cake tester inserted in several places comes out clean. Let
stand 5 minutes.

That's a great idea Paula. I have friends who moved today so I shall do
this for them tomorrow!

Glad you liked it! I have used it on several occasions as "gifts" and
received a rave review! You are welcome.

Well, it hasn't been cooked yet! I've given it to my friends. Myself,
I've never made a cake in the m/w ever -- I'm more of a traditional
cake baker! Bron.

On ocassion I have done corn muffins in the nuker. Had to stop though.
It was too easy and was REALLY making me fat. There is nothing like
fresh baked corn muffins buttered when still warm from the oven. The
taste was fairly good the prep was normal and baking time was under 6
minutes a half dozenb. Most microwave baking recipes require less
liquids.

Be sure to let me know how they liked it. I fix ours for Sunday
mornings alot. They are great to give as a housewarming gift too.

Just had the call from friends - they gave it the 'thumbs up" and said
it was delicious, cooking it as directed.

Thnaks for the good report, I was sure they would love it!
