American Coffee Cake

This is a cake that a friend made for me when I lived in a dormitory. She used Bisquick, so I experimented using Japanese pancake mix to achieve a similar taste.

You can make a thicker topping by increasing the amounts of butter and sugar. I only used a small amount for the cake in the photo, so the topping is quite light. Feel free to adjust the amounts to your taste. Recipe by Tsukushigumi

Ingredients

4 servings
  1. For the topping:
  2. 50 gramsPancake mix
  3. 30 gramsSugar
  4. 30 gramsButter
  5. 1 tspCinnamon
  6. For the cake batter:
  7. 150 gramsPancake mix
  8. 1Egg
  9. 30 gramsSugar
  10. 30 gramsVegetable oil
  11. 100 gramsYogurt

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Using your hands, mix the topping ingredients together until they resemble panko. Preheat the oven to 180°C and line the cake tin with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Break the egg into a bowl and beat it well. Place the bowl on a scale and measure in the sugar, vegetable oil, and yogurt (in that order), mixing well after each addition. Mix thoroughly after adding the vegetable oil, until the mixture starts to turn creamy.

  3. 3

    Lastly, add the pancake mix, switch a spatula and briskly fold it into the mixture without over-mixing.

  4. 4

    Pour the cake batter into the tin and even out the surface. Spread the topping evenly on top. Use your fingertips to twist the topping to get a cornflake effect.

    Bake the cake in the preheated oven for approximately 30 minutes. This cake is very delicious freshly baked and can be reheated in the microwave after it cools. I prefer to eat it on the day that it's been baked, as the topping becomes moist from the following day.
