The Pioneer Woman's Coffee Cake

Er: For our anniversary, I made Sam a coffee cake (his favorite breakfast) and it was a hit! It really doesn't take too many ingredients but it was so good. I may even make this for Christmas. This coffee cake will change your life :)

Ingredients:

FOR THE CAKE:
1-1/2 stick Butter, Softened
2 cups Scant Sugar
3 cups Flour, Sifted
4 teaspoons Baking Powder
1 teaspoon Salt
1-1/4 cup Whole Milk
3 whole Egg Whites, Beaten Until Stiff  

 FOR THE TOPPING:
1-1/2 stick Butter, Softened
3/4 cups Flour
1-1/2 cup Brown Sugar
2 Tablespoons Cinnamon

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Beat egg whites and set aside.

2. Cream butter and sugar. Add flour mixture and milk alternately until combined. Don't overbeat.
3. Fold in beaten egg whites with a rubber spatula. Spread in a well-greased 9 x 13 (or LARGER!) baking pan.
4. In a separate bowl, combine topping ingredients with a pastry cutter until crumbly. Sprinkle all over the top.
5. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until no longer jiggly. Serve warm---delicious!
