Did you ever have one of those evenings when you are contemplating, "There just won't be enough hours in the day tomorrow?" You can already feel the tension rising, and before you know it, an unrestful sleep ensues. Why not take save a bit of time at breakfast? You know, while you whittle away a few minutes and hours for yourself, your well-being will assume and you'll be able to think more clearly.
On these nights before the "big boom", try Norma's coffee cake. You can make it the night before, and it will be sitting there for breakfast when the family arises. This will give you a few more minutes to compile yourself and ease your nerves. This cake is just simply delicious, and soon, your family will be requesting it always. But, you'll be saving it for those hectic days; because the shear fact of knowing no one will complain when your nerves are already frazzled, will save your sanity those uptight mornings!
1 stick of butter or margarine
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup of yogurt
1 tsp. vanilla
Topping:
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Place butter or margarine in bowl with sugar. Beat until creamy, this takes about 8 minutes. Blend in eggs, flour, soda, powder and salt. Beat another 5 minutes to blend. Add 1 cup of yogurt and vanilla, then set beaters on low. Beat an additional 5 minutes. I don't sift my flours for this cake. The yogurt adds the moisture it needs and the cake rises well. Place topping ingredients in bowl. Mix well with fingertips. In a greased 8 x 8 pan, place 1/2 the batter and smooth around edges. Add 1/2 topping mixture, don't mix. Place remainder batter on top, and then remaining topping mixture. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes or until done. You can insert a toothpick, and if it comes out clean, it is done. If you don't have an 8 x 8 inch pan, pie plates work well too.
