I went to Kanakomo Kamp(now just Kanakuk) in Missouri when I was younger. I Loved it! One of the highlights of everyone’s week was Sunday Morning we got the famous Coffee Cake. I found the recipe a few years ago on the camp website and finally made it. It is really delicious. Here is the recipe so you can give it a try.

Kanakuk Coffee Cake

Topping (prepare day ahead and refrigerate)

¾ Cup Brown Sugar

1/3 Cup Flour

1 Tbsp. Cinnamon

2 Oz Butter

Instructions:

Combine brown sugar, flour and cinnamon and mix well. Cut butter into small pieces and work into dry ingredients with hands. Refrigerate overnight.

Cake

3 Cups Flour

1 ½ Cup Sugar

2 ½ Tsp Baking Powder

½ tsp. Salt

2 Eggs

1 Tsp Vanilla

1 Cup Evaporated Milk

1/3 cup Margarine (I used butter)

2 Cups Water

Instructions:

In a medium bowl combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt and mix well. Set aside. (Note: Dry ingredients may be mixed the day before, covered and left at room temperature.) Spray 9×13-inch pan with pan spray. Beat eggs in a large mixing bowl until fluffy. Add vanilla and evaporated milk. Combine margarine with water, then pour slowly into batter and mix on low speed. Turn mixer off. Add small amount of dry ingredients and turn mixer on low to combine. Mix well. Scrape bowl and repeat until all dry ingredients have been incorporated. Beat until batter is smooth. Pour batter into prepared pan. Sprinkle topping (prepared before) on top of cake batter, covering well. Just FYI topping falls to bottom during cooking so when it is finished the bottom will actually be the top. Place in oven and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Cool and cut to serve.
