Mother's Coffee Cake

I remember eating a Cinnamon Coffee Cake with cinnamon and nuts sprinkled on top for breakfast. Maybe not everyday, but on special days, like Sunday perhaps. So, Mother sent me this one. But I also like cinnamon in my cake, so I would probably sprinkle some in the batter after getting into the pan and then swirling it.

Preheat oven to 350F

Ingredients:
1 1/2 Cups Flour
1 Cup Sugar
1 Teaspoon Baking Powder
1 Teaspoon Salt
1/2 Teaspoon Baking Soda
1 Cup Sour Cream or Buttermilk (or put 4 teaspoons vinegar in a one cup measure, then add milk. let set a couple minutes. may do this first before following Directions)
1 Egg (well beaten)
Butter
Powdered Sugar
Cinnamon
Chopped Nuts, any

Directions:
Sift dry ingredients. Stir in liquid mixture. Grease well bottom and sides of 2 medium sized or one 13" x 9" cake pan. Spread batter in pan. Dot with butter, sift powdered sugar and cinnamon over butter. Sprinkle with finely chopped nuts. Bake at 350F about 25 minutes. Mother likes hers thick, so she doubles the recipe. It comes out higher.

Cassoulet

While they are getting cool enough to place in the fridge, I will post the recipe here. As with the previous post regarding Bean Prep, this recipe also comes from the Northarvest. As will the next one. That's because, of the five recipes listed in it, these two are the only ones I ever really enjoyed. CASSOULET Ingredients: 1 Pound Navy Beans (or your own combination of beans equal to one pound) 1/2 Tablespoon Chicken Bouillon Powder 5 Cups Water 4-5 Slices Bacon, diced 1 Medium Onion, diced 2 Carrots, cut into 2-inch pieces 1 Bay leaf 1 Tablespoon Parsley 1 Tablespoon Celery Leaves or seeds 1 Teaspoon Salt 1/8 Teaspoon Black Pepper (either ground or fresh grind) 1 Pound Polish (or Italian or Chicken Sausage)  1 1/2 Pounds Ham Directions: Soak beans. Drain beans; discard soak water...
