How to Make the Best Coffee Cake
If you have ever sampled a delicious coffee cake in your lifetime, only to feel a little bit of jealousy in wanting to be able to recreate it yourself, then you are not alone. The great news for you to know is that coffee cakes are much easier to make than you would have ever anticipated, making it a popular baking choice for a gathering of family or friends, or even just a Sunday morning alone with your newspaper!
To start out with, here are the ingredients that you will need:
• 2 cups flour
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tsp. baking powder
• 1/2 tsp. baking soda
• 3/4 tsp. salt
• 1/3 cup shortening
• 1/2 cup buttermilk
• 1 beaten egg
First things first, start by mixing together the flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, and sugar. Cut the softened shortening into your mixture until it has a coarse consistency. Stir in the beaten egg and buttermilk until it is thoroughly blended. Spread this entire mixture into an 8 inch round cake pan that you have greased and floured previously. Before you begin to bake it, you will need to sprinkle it with a specialty topping made of:
• 2 tsp. cinnamon
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 2 tbsp. melted butter
• 1/2 cup pecans, chopped
Mix all of the topping ingredients together well, and then sprinkle them over the top of the unbaked coffee cake before you place it in the oven. This is going to give you a special touch in your coffee cake recipe that will make it stand apart from many other average coffee cakes that you may have tasted in your lifetime. Bake this coffeecake at 350° for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
After that, all you have to do is cut up your delicious coffee cake and enjoy! But it doesn't stop there... When you have made a custom and delicious coffee cake, then you definitely need an expert Java to go with it. Since this is a rich and delicious dessert cake, it is recommended to look for a sweet coffee with cinnamon spices, such as the Hawaiian Kona Blend. This is specifically designed to go well with baked goods because it has a lighter body, which is perfectly paired with a coffee cake or any type of other cookie dessert that you may have. This blend is also ideal if you are the type that likes light to medium bodied coffees that have a low acidity on the tongue.
It's best for you to freshly grind your Hawaiian Kona coffee beans about five minutes before your coffee cake is to be finished. Freshly brew them in your traditional drip brew maker or French press so that they will be done simultaneously when this coffee cake is be ready to be taken out of the oven. Then, all you have to do is let both your brew and your cake cool so that you can enjoy them at the same time. There is nothing better!

How to Make Perfect Tea Using a Coffee Maker
Rather than purchase a tea maker in order to make the perfect cup of tea, you can still make this beverage only with the aid of a coffee maker. So many caffeine brewers are now available not only to make a pot of java but also a pot of your favourite tea.
The pod, press or even drip coffee machines can be used to make this beverage. If you are ready to learn this skill, here are the steps you need to follow:
1. Choose the flavour of tea you want first. You can have chamomile, green tea, lavender, ginger, black, peppermint, white and the more popular green tea. The ones that come in a bag are good enough although some say the authentic ones with the leaves produce better results.
2. Now fill the water reservoir of your brewer with the same amount of water you normally use for your daily pot of brewer. Of course, the amount should just be right for the tea bags you are going to use and for the amount you require for that.
3. Put tea bags in the coffee basket. For a cup or two of this beverage, you need about one to two tea bags. Do not use the filter. If it has a built-in filter already, you should increase the amount of tea bags to one to strengthen the taste.
4. Plug the coffee machine and then program it to the usual programming features. You might want to set it up to the strongest cup setting where it will extract the most essential oil and flavour from the tea bags. If you want to do this everyday, you can already put the tea bags at night and program it to start brewing in the morning so your cup of beverage is already waiting for you when you go down for breakfast.
5. Now you can serve your tea. Put milk or honey in it or any condiments you desire.
It is really quite a cinch to make. So the next time you are feeling tired of brewing java every single day, why not try to change your caffeine routine with tea instead? This will surely provide a nice diversion from what you have been accustomed with.
Cocoa is also a nice alternative. You can brew it the same way you did with this beverage. Truly, having a coffee maker at home provides lots of benefits to us homeowners.
