Cinnamon Streusel Snack Cake

By -


We made Cinnamon Streusel Snack Cake for Family Home Evening treat last night and I realized I haven't shared this recipe on my blog yet!  If you like cinnamon, you'll want to try this!  This delicious snack cake (or coffee cake) has been a favorite of our family for many years!  My sister Beverly made it when I was expecting my first baby.  I just craved it through that pregnancy.  27 years later I still love it!  I love the heavy texture and the crunchy cinnamon topping.   My favorite way to eat this is with a nice scoop of good chocolate ice cream. (and a spoon!)   Mmmmm!!!    

 This is quick to make and serves nice warm or cold.

 Cinnamon Streusel Snack Cake

 Batter:

 2 C. flour
1 C. sugar
3 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1/3 C. margarine or butter, softened
1egg
1/2 tsp. vanilla

Beat until well combined.

Streusel:

1/2 C. chopped walnuts
1/3 C. brown sugar
1/4 C. flour
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
3 T. firm margarine or butter

Mix with a fork until crumbly.

Grease a 9x13 baking pan.  Spread half of the batter in the pan, sprinkle with half of the streusel.  Spread remaining batter over streusel and then sprinkle the last half of the streusel mixture on top being sure to sprinkle some clear to the edges.   Bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

 Enjoy!!!

Creamy Pork Chops and Potatoes

The other day I needed a dinner that I could make ahead and leave in the oven.  I combined a couple of recipes to come up with this.  It was a hit with our entire family. I like to buy full boneless pork loins at Sam's Club and then cut them into chops or leave the size we need for a roast.  The price is usually cheapest that way and I'm all about cutting our food budget.  I keep everything in this recipe on hand (aside from the French's Fried Onions) so it is something I could throw together  spur of the moment. Creamy Pork Chops and Potatoes 6-8 pork loin chops (boneless or bone-in) 6 LARGE  russet potatoes , peeled and sliced 2 10 oz. cans condensed cream of mushroom soup 1 12 oz. can evaporated milk 3/4 C. water 3 T. onion soup base (1 package of Lipton onion soup is a little over 2 T. so just use that if you'd rather not have a package open.  I buy mine in bulk so it's easier for measuring) 1/4 tsp. pepper 1/4 tsp. salt French's fried onions

My family doesn't generally love brown rice.  They really enjoyed it in this dish though.  I started out to do a skillet dinner, but I took a little time to put it all in a pan and melt the cheese in the oven.  Next time I'm going to try just mixing it in and letting it melt in the skillet rather than sprinkling it on top. This was a tasty dinner and full of healthy ingredients.   My family requested it again! Brown Rice and Broccoli with Chicken 1 1/2 C. brown rice 3 1/4 C.chicken broth or water with 3 tsp. chicken boullion  Place in medium pan, bring to a boil and cook for 40 minutes.  Remove from heat. While the rice is cooking, saute the following in 1 T. of olive oil: 2 chicken breast, diced 1 C. onion, diced 1 C. mushrooms, sliced 2 C. broccoli florets (fresh or frozen is fine) When the rice is done, place it on the bottom of a greased 9x13 pan .  Spread chicken and vegetables over rice.  Drizzle a couple of tablespoons of water or chicken broth ove

Molasses Oatmeal Bread is a hearty (and heart healthy!) bread that is easy and delicious!  We love it toasted and spread with homemade jam.  So good!  Molasses adds a rich flavor and beautiful color. Molasses Oatmeal Bread 2 T. instant dry yeast (my favorite brand is SAF) 1/2 C. warm water Dissolve yeast in water and set aside In large bowl (or mixer bowl if you have one that will do bread), put: 2 C. quick rolled oats 2 T. oil 2 C. boiling water Stir and let sit about 10 minutes or until lukewarm.   Stir dissolved yeast, 1/2 C. molasses, and 4 tsp. salt into the oatmeal mixture.   Add about 3 cups of flour and mix well.  Stir in 2-3 cups more flour until you have a firm dough that you can knead.  Knead 5 minutes by hand or with mixer.  Place in a greased bowl, being sure to grease the top as well.   Cover and let rise until double.  About 45 minutes to an hour depending on how warm your room is.
