Hazelnut Coffee-mate Coffee Cake

We discovered this recipe on www.coffee-mate.com under the "Desserts" tab. Being avid lovers and self-proclaimed addicted users of Coffee-mate we knew we had to give it a try. You can use any flavor of Coffee-mate for this cake. We used Hazelnut, but feel free to pick your favorite :)

Hazelnut Coffee-mate Coffee Cake


For the Cake

2/3 cup warm water
1/3 cup NESTLÉ COFFEE-MATE Powdered Coffee Creamer (we chose Hazelnut)
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/3 cup butter, softened
1 large egg


For the Crumb Topping

1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (we decided against these)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
6 tablespoons cold butter, cut into pieces





For the Cake


Whisk together water and Coffee-mate in a small bowl. 

...Umm, we had a little trouble pouring out the Coffee-mate...




In a separate bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and butter and beat by hand or with a mixer until flour is coated with butter. Stir in the egg, then gradually stir in the Coffee-mate mixture. Set aside.




...Or simply throw it on the floor, like we did...




For the Crumb Topping 


Combine sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and butter in a bowl and mix until crumbs are formed.




Spoon half of the cake batter into a greased 9-inch square baking pan. 




Sprinkle half of the crumb topping over batter. 




Spoon remaining batter over crumb topping. 




Then sprinkle remaining crumb topping on top...once again.




Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 15 minutes before cutting.








Enjoy!
