Classic cinnamon yeast coffee cake
Cakes
Growing up, my Christmas breakfast memories are of two distinctly different traditions. When we stayed in New York, a traditional Jewish breakfast (Dad's Jewish and we can't keep our hands off this breakfast either) of bagels, smoked/baked salmon, cream cheese and the works of thinly sliced red onions and tomatoes. If we weren't in NY we were in my mom's hometown of a suburb outside of Cincinnati, Ohio with her family. Christmas morning meant one thing...a table full of my grandmother's baked creations rounded out with eggs (which I despised) and bacon or sausage. Her breakfast cakes were almost always yeast based and this was one was of her mainstays and a recipe that came from her mother. The cake itself is not very sweet, it gets that from the topping. My grandmother started making it with shortening (a sign of the 1950's), I brought it back to it's butter roots. - testkitchenette
