  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Spice Islands Ground Saigon Cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup butter or margarine (softened)
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
For the Glaze:
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon Spice Islands Pure Vanilla Extract

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • 9-inch round cake pan
  • Rubber spatula
  • Cooling rack

Method
 

Preparation Steps:
  1. In a bowl, combine the warm water, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and the packet of Fleischmann's RapidRise TM Yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, white whole wheat flour, and salt. Whisk together until well blended.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the Mazola Corn Oil, egg, and 1 teaspoon of Spice Islands Pure Vanilla Extract. Once the yeast mixture is frothy, add it to the wet ingredients and mix well.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
  5. In a separate bowl, mix together 1/3 cup all-purpose flour, 1/3 cup sugar, 1/3 cup brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon of Spice Islands Ground Saigon Cinnamon. Add the softened butter or margarine and mix until crumbly. Stir in the mini chocolate chips.
  6. Pour the batter into a greased 9-inch round cake pan. Evenly sprinkle the streusel topping over the batter.
  7. Cover the pan with a kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes, or until it has doubled in size.
  8. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Once preheated, bake the coffee cake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a cooling rack. While it cools, prepare the glaze by whisking together 1 cup powdered sugar, 1 to 2 tablespoons of milk, and 1/2 teaspoon of Spice Islands Pure Vanilla Extract until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled cake.
