When I think of a brunch I always think of the coffee talk times I have with my girlfriends! I love this time when we can sit around and talk about what is bugging us professionally, personally, with our kids or just life in general. Almost always it entails some woes about our looks. The best way to cheer our group up when we get to that topic is to eat. So I am having my girlfriends over and we are going to eat some guilt free brunch yummies.
My “go to” food is I Can’t Believe It is Not Butter. It is the perfect buttery spread that gives you all that butter flavor without the guilt! Seems like a no brainer to me.
Here is the Cinnamon Streusal Cake recipe I made!! It was incredible and perfect for my guiltless girlfriend coffee talk time!
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line round cake pan with waxed paper; set aside.
Combine 1 cup flour, brown sugar and cinnamon in medium bowl. Blend in 1/2 cup I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter!® All Purpose Sticks with pastry blender or two knives until coarse crumbs form; set aside.
Combine remaining 2 cups flour, baking powder and salt in medium bowl; set aside.
Beat remaining 1/2 cup Spread with granulated sugar in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in eggs and vanilla until blended, scraping sides occasionally. Alternately beat in flour mixture and milk just until blended, beginning and ending with baking powder mixture. Evenly spoon 1/2 of the batter into prepared pan. then Sprinkle 1/2 of the streusel crumb mixture over batter. Spoon remaining batter into pan, then sprinkle with remaining streusel.
Bake 50 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 15 minutes on wire rack; carefully remove from pan and cool completely. Sprinkle, if desired, with confectioners sugar.
