Breakfast Cake Recipes

Steps:

• For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. Line the bottom of the pan with parchment and coat again with the spray.
• Whisk together the flour, oats, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, salt and baking soda in a large bowl and set aside. Whisk together the oil, buttermilk, vanilla and eggs in a medium bowl. Fold the buttermilk mixture into the flour mixture until just combined.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 35 minutes.
• For the glaze: Meanwhile, add the brown sugar, oats, coconut, butter, milk, cinnamon and salt to a small saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil and cook until the butter and sugar are dissolved, about 1 minute. Turn off the heat and stir in the pecans.
• Pour the hot glaze over the warm cake and spread evenly. Let the cake cool in the pan on a rack until cooled completely, at least 40 minutes. The glaze will still look glossy but should be not be sticky. You can cut slices from the pan or invert onto a serving platter or cutting board. Store at room temperature for up to 1 week.

Steps:

• Center a rack in the oven, and heat it to 350. Generously butter a 10-inch tube pan (or use a Bundt pan with minimal crannies), dust the interior with flour and tap out the excess. Be assiduous - this cake is a sticker. Alternatively, use baker's spray.
• Whisk together the flour, baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt; set aside.
• Using a mixer with a whisk attachment, beat the egg whites and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt on medium-high speed until they form firm, glossy peaks. (If you're using a stand mixer, scrape the whites into another bowl. No need to rinse the mixer bowl.)
• Fit the mixer with the paddle attachment. Put the sugar and lemon zest in the mixer/mixing bowl, and rub them together until the mixture is fragrant. Add the yolks, and beat on medium speed for 3 minutes, scraping the bowl as needed - the batter will be thick, pale and shiny. With the mixer on medium, pour in the oil and continue to beat for another 3 minutes. Mix in the lemon juice, vanilla and lemon oil, if using, then scrape the bowl well. Turn off the mixer, add the dry ingredients and pulse the mixer a few times to start incorporating them. Work on low until the flour is blended into the batter, which will be smooth and thick.
• Beat the whites briskly with a whisk (to restiffen them and incorporate any liquid in the bowl), and scrape a few spoonfuls over the batter. Use a flexible spatula to stir them in and lighten the batter. Turn the rest of the whites into the bowl, and fold them in gingerly. If you're using the berries, gently fold them in just before the whites are fully incorporated. Scrape the batter into the pan, and level the top.
• Bake the cake for 45 to 50 minutes, until lightly browned; a tester inserted deep into the cake should come out clean. Transfer to a rack, and wait 5 minutes. Run a blunt knife around the edges of the pan to loosen the cake (if possible - it's not easy with a Bundt), invert onto the rack and unmold. Cool to room temperature. Dust with confectioners' sugar, if you like.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x9-inch baking pan.
• Mix 1 1/4 cups flour, 1/2 cup white sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl using a fork. Stir 1/2 cup butter, milk, egg, and vanilla extract into flour mixture until evenly combined. Pour batter into prepared pan.
• Combine 1/2 cup flour, 1/4 cup white sugar, and 3 tablespoons butter in a bowl using a fork until mixture resembles crumbs; sprinkle half the crumb mixture over the batter.
• Stir blueberry pie filling and lemon extract together in a bowl; spread over crumb topping. Sprinkle blueberries over pie filling; top with remaining crumb topping.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cake is golden brown, about 1 hour.

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the dry ingredients. Combine egg, orange juice, oil, milk and orange zest; add to the dry ingredients just until combined. Pour into a greased 10-in. pie plate. For topping, combine sugar and flour in a bowl; cut in butter until crumbly. Sprinkle over batter. Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
