Rustic Fall Coffee Cake | Simple Amish Recipe | Jennifer L. Scott

One of my favorite cookbooks is From Amish and Mennonite Kitchens. The simple recipes in this book are hearty and very easy to make. Today, I'm making a rustic fall coffee cake from this book for the first time. The results are delicious!



I'm submitting this video as part of Falon from Moss Family TV's Fall Food Fridays. She asked her viewers to submit a fall recipe to be a part of the playlist and this is my contribution.




I enjoyed this cake so much, I've made it again since shooting this video for a Sunday family gathering. It was a big hit!

Here is the printable and pinnable recipe.

Another way to do the topping is to spread the melted butter over the warm cake and then sprinkle the cinnamon sugar on top. Either way is delicious.

I hope you enjoy today's video. Have a wonderful weekend and I'll see you on Monday!
