Summer Torte

1 stick butter, softened

3/4 cup sugar

1 cup flour, sifted

1 tsp. baking powder

2 eggs

Pinch of salt

Fruit of choice; sliced into wedges (I used about 7 plums.
Peaches, nectarines, strawberries all work great and in combination)

Cinnamon sugar for top

Preheat oven to 350° F. Cream butter and add
sugar. Beat well. Add eggs and beat. Mix together flour, baking powder and
salt. Add to batter. Mix. Spoon globs to greased 9- or 10-inch springform. Use
a knife to spread batter to cover entire pan. Arrange fruit on top. Sprinkle
with cinnamon sugar (amount depends on the sweetness of the fruit).  Bake for 45 minutes.

Lois’s Best Coffee Cake

Source of Recipe

My friend Maggie (maggiethecat at eGullet.org)

This coffee cake was the subject of Maggie’s lovely essay, Swans and Streusel, on eGullet. A really easy and good coffee cake. I read the essay and saw the recipe and 45 minutes later I was taking this tender, fragrant coffee cake out of the oven!

List of Ingredients

1/4 C butter
1/3 C sugar
1 egg
2/3 C milk
1 t vanilla
1-1/2 C flour
1/4 t salt
2 t baking powder

TOPPING:
brown sugar
cinnamon
butter

Recipe

Preheat oven to 375 degrees and grease a 8″x8″ pan.

Cream the butter and sugar. Beat in the egg, milk and vanilla.

Sift together the flour, salt and baking powder. Add to the butter mixture and mix well. Spread in the prepared pan and top with the brown sugar, cinnamon and small bits of butter (I used a little shredder and ‘shredded’ some very cold butter on the top). Bake for 25 minutes. Serve hot, spread with butter.

Maggie says that you can add coconut or nuts, if you like.
