The smell of baking cake is like a warm welcome, and this recipe for Hobee's coffee cake will have your kitchen smelling like a bakery in no time.

ingredients
1 1/2 cup flour, unbleached, sifted
1 cup white sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup sour cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup fresh blueberries, (or other fruit, or nuts such as walnuts)
vegetable oil
TOPPING
5 tablespoons sugar, granulated
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, ground
directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large mixing bowl, sift flour with baking power, baking soda, salt and 1 cup of sugar.
In a separate bowl, beat together the eggs, sour cream and vanilla. Add egg mixture to flour mixture and beat until smooth.
Grease a 9-inch square baking pan (you can also use an 8 inch square pan, or anything of similar surface area, if you adjust the baking time accordingly.)
Spread the batter in the pan. If you are using fruit or nuts, scatter them over the batter and stir a little bit so that they stay in the top layer.
Topping: In a small bowl, mix 5 Tbsp sugar with the butter and cinnamon with a sturdy fork, until they are blended and resemble cornmeal (i.e., you should have a mixture of fine crumbs, not a smooth mixture).
Sprinkle topping over batter. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until a clean toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out dry.
Cool slightly; serve warm or at room temperature.

What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!
This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.

Cut the sugar to 3/4 cup and quadrupled the berries. THE BEST!

The cake itself was good but only 1/4 cup blueberries wasn't anywhere near enough! I doubled it otherwise, what's the point??
