Cinnamon Coffee Cake

The recipe is taken from: http://www.cooks.com/rec/doc/0,176,156167-234204,00.html


Ingredients


Cake:


1 1/2 cups of flour
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg white
1/4 cup oil
3/4 cup skim milk


Cinnamon-Pecan topping


1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup pecans
2 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons oil
2 tsp cinnamon


Directions:


a.  Preheat oven to 375 degrees
b.  Stir together flour, baking powder and sugar
c.  Blend in egg-white, oil and milk
d.  Stir until flour is moistened
e.  Mix all the topping ingredients
f.  Add half the batter to a square pan
g.  Sprinkle half the topping
h.  Add remaining batter and sprinkle the remaining toppings
i.  Bake for 30-40 minutes


Results:


The cake tastes DELICIOUS, but is, unfortunately not the healthiest option around.  For a much healthier cake, replace the oil with a fruit puree like Applesauce to add texture.     Aside from the health-aspect, the only other complaint was that the toppings over the crust fell off while cutting the cake.   


'Sin'ful:  8/10
