Whats coffee with out the cake?
I found this recipe, it was one of the simplier ones that I found. This is an easy streusel coffee cake, baked in a square or round layer-cake pan.
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients:
- Topping:
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup sifted all-purpose flour (sift before measuring)
- 1/4 cup butter, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- Cake:
- 1 1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour (sift before measuring)
- 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg, beaten
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup melted butter
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preparation:
Topping. In small mixing bowl, combine topping ingredients. Blend with fork until crumbly. Set aside.
Sift 1 1/2 cups sifted flour with baking powder and salt into a bowl. In a medium bowl, beat together beaten egg and 3/4 cup sugar and 1/3 cup melted butter. Add milk and vanilla. Stir in flour mixture and mix well.
Pour batter into a greased and floured 8-inch square or 9-inch layer-cake pan. Sprinkle topping crumb mixture evenly over batter. Bake at 375° for 25 to 30 minutes, or until cake tests done. Partially cool in pan on wire rack. Cut coffee cake into squares while still warm. This is an easy streusel coffee cake, baked in a square or round layer-cake pan.

This French coffee recipe I found at About.com and I thought it sounded good enough to try. I made the drink at home and it was very good. Very sweet and the vanilla really made the drink. Since this is the start of the ratings and I am not sure is what to come, I will give it 3/5.
I could not find a picture online of what the drink looks like but I found that General Foods International makes a coffee drink mix called “Cafe Francais” that you can buy in stores to mix in with your coffee for $3.99.
