	Hot Milk Cake
(makes 1 –14”x 14” square cake) Options:1 recipe Pumpkin Butter, Pumpkin-Apple Butter or Dark Chocolate Pumpkin-Apple Butter (**If you prefer you can use a jam of your choice or any pie filling)
1 recipe	streusel for center and top of cake, listed below
For cake:
1 ½ cups	whole milk
3 stick	butter, room temperature
6	eggs
3 cups	sugar
4 teaspoons	vanilla
3 cups	all purpose flour
1½ cups	cake flour
3 ¼ teaspoons	baking powder
2 teaspoons	salt
If you are going to use the pumpkin butter and the streusel, make sure to prepare those ahead of time and set aside so that they are ready to add to the cake batter. In a small microwave safe bowl, add the milk and butter together and heat until the butter has melted, then set aside. In a separate large bowl, add the eggs, sugar and vanilla and whisk together until all of the ingredients are well incorporated. Sift all of the dry ingredients together into a separate bowl. You are going to add the dry ingredients in 3 additions and the liquid in 2 additions. We do this to prevent any lumps from forming because there is a good bit of liquid to incorporate. Begin with adding 1/3 of the flour into the eggs and whisk well, then add half of the butter/milk mixture and whisk again. Repeat with the rest of the ingredients until you have achieved a smooth batter and everything is well combined. Pour half of the cake batter into a well sprayed and (parchment) paper lined cake pan. Add half of the streusel on top of the batter in the pan, then pour the rest of the cake batter on top of that. Add the pumpkin butter (or your favorite jam or pie filling) on top of this and swirl into the batter. Add the rest of the streusel all over the top of the cake. Bake the cake in a 350°F oven and bake until the cake tests clean, about 30-45 minutes. Allow to cool completely before slicing. This will be easier to slice if baked the day before, so make it ahead of time if you can. Streusel For Center Of Cake
1 stick	cold salted butter
¾ cup	flour
½ cup	packed brown sugar
½ cup	granulated sugar
3 teaspoons	cinnamon
Streusel For Top Of Cake
1 sticks	cold salted butter
1 cups	flour
½ cup	packed brown sugar
½ cup	granulated sugar
3 teaspoons	cinnamon
Make each streusel in exactly the same way…Add the cold butter to a medium sized bowl and then add the dry ingredients. Cut the butter into the dry ingredients until it is all incorporated and resembles a coarse meal. The one made with less flour will be softer. Store both in the refrigerator or freezer until ready to use. Coffeecake (makes 1-14” square cake)
1 recipe	hot milk cake
1 recipe	milk sugar glaze, (2 cups powdered sugar, 5 tea. milk and 2 tea. vanilla)
1-1 ½ cups	dark chocolate mini chips or shards, (I used 1 ½)
1-1 ½ cups	chopped, roasted pecans,, (I used 1 ½)

First prepare both of the streusels and keep them in the freezer or refrigerator until ready to use. Roast and chop the pecans and chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and set aside. Prepare the batter and pour it into your paper- lined cake pan.

Pour in half of the batter and add all of the streusel made with the ¾ cup of flour.
