I decided to make a coffee cake. I decided to make this because last time when i brought back coffee cake, my family really enjoyed it. The coffee cake turned out really well, except the topping had a bit too much cinnamon but it wasn’t that noticeable. I liked the coffee cake, it turned out better then i thought it would since we doubled the recipe and put it in the same pan. The reason we doubled the recipe was because we had nothing else to do with the other half of the egg, and we would eat more anyways. We had to make some changes to the recipe, like adding more cinnamon, and less brown sugar. For the cinnamon we didn’t have the right measurement, and for brown sugar we were low on it, since i had to get some from my grandmother. It was somewhat a new recipe, since i haven’t used it since we baked it in class. There were some “Mistakes” we had made that we recovered from, like putting all the batter in one pan so we had to double the time, all together having to put it in for 40 minutes. We were also missing some equipment like a pastry cutter, so instead we used a fork and we didn’t have a sifter so we hoped for the best. I took pictures of before the coffee cake was baked and after. The coffee cake turned out better then i thought it would, since it looked off colour then when we made it, but it was fine afterwards.
