Topping:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Mix the baking mix and sugar, and cut in the butter. Add the milk and egg, and beat well for about 30 seconds (by hand).
For the topping, mix the sugar with the flour, and cut in the butter and milk. Mix in the peanut butter.
Grease and flour a 9x9 inch pan. Spread 1/2 of the batter into the pan. Sprinkle on 1/2 of the topping. Cover with the rest of the batter, and sprinkle the rest of the topping on top. Bake for about 25 minutes.
Serve warm with a scoop of ice cream. Chocolate is particularly good.

I am looking for the recipe for Sara Lee coffee cake. Can anyone share?
By Pat from Menifee, CA
This is the best coffee cake I have ever eaten. I purchased it at a bake sale and called the lady for the recipe. She kindly shared it!
1 box yellow cake mix
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9 x 13 baking pan.
Beat cake mix, pudding, water, eggs, and oil 8 minutes at medium speed. Add butter extract and vanilla. Pour 1/2 of mixture in buttered 9 x 13 pan. Mix 1/2 cup sugar and 2 Tbsp. cinnamon. Sprinkle 1/2 mixture over batter in pan. Spread rest of batter and rest of sugar mixture on top. Swirl knife through. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes. Drizzle with the following:
1 cup powdered sugar
1 Tbsp. hot milk
1/2 tsp. butter extract
1/4 tsp vanilla
This is so moist too! Hope this helps! Enjoy and let me know how it turns out!
I would imagine that Paula Deen's coffee cake recipe would be just as good if not a whole lot better than Sara Lee's ;-)
Ultimate Coffee Cake
16 to 18 unbaked frozen dinner rolls
1 (3-ounce) package regular butterscotch pudding mix, not instant
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup pecans, chopped
1 stick (1/2 cup) butter, melted
The night before place frozen rolls in well greased Bundt pan. Sprinkle dry pudding mix over rolls. Sprinkle brown sugar over pudding mix. Sprinkle chopped pecans over brown sugar. Pour melted butter over all. To prevent the dough from forming a hard crust while its rising overnight, cover with a damp towel or tightly wrap with plastic wrap. Let rise overnight at room temperature, about 8 to 10 hours.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Bake in oven for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Turn pan over onto a serving platter to remove. Serve by pulling apart chunks with forks.
I'm from St. Louis. There was a bakery called Lubeley's that makes the most fabulous deep crumb coffee cake. Does anyone have a recipe that is even close to that? I ordered it a couple times, but wasn't too fresh when it was delivered.
I am really missing this, especially those crumbs that were deeper than the cake.
By Barb from McCall, ID
This cake is half crumbs and half cake. I don't know if it's like the one you remember, but it sure is good. One of my cousins served this at a family gathering about 25 years ago. I asked her for the recipe, which she got from her sister, also my cousin (of course). So, I have always thought of it as "Cousins Crumb Cake".
Cousins Crumb Cake
Preheat oven to 400° F.
Grease a 9 x 14 or 9 x 13 baking or roasting pan. Or use vegetable spray.
In a Large mixing bowl cream:
2 eggs
1 ½ cups sugar
½ pound softened margarine (2 sticks)
Stir together in another bowl or large measuring cup:
3 cups flour
1 tsp salt
3 tsp baking powder
Stir together in another cup:
½ tsp vanilla extract
1 cup milk
Add the flour mixture to the creamed ingredients alternately with the vanilla mixture.
Mix together with a large wooden spoon, pour into greased baking pan, and set aside.
In the same Large bowl (no need to wash first) mix:
2 ¼ cups flour
2 cups sugar
8 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp vanilla extract
½ pound margarine (2 sticks) (melted - warm but not hot)
Mix all ingredients together and crumble with hands onto cake batter, covering entire cake with crumbs.
Bake in 400° F oven 25 to 30 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
Optional: Shake sifted powdered sugar over cooled cake.

(I got this recipe from Cooks.com . There was no name beside it about who posted it there, but it sounds easy enough. I think I will try it too! )
Does anyone know how to make a coffee cake like one you can buy from Sara Lee in the frozen section? The pecan coffee cake is so good, but they are expensive with never any coupons for them and of course never big enough for my family of 6.
Hi
I found this by typing in a search
on AOL Keyword for
Sara Lee Coffee Cake Recipe.
and there was a list of sites
for it. good luck :-)

Anyone have a quick & easy recipe for a yeast made coffee cake topped with sliced apples or sliced plums?
Barbara from Chicago, IL
My mother made something like this almost every Saturday. She used sweetened bread (or roll)dough, lined up sliced apples on top, sprinkled with sugar and cinnamon. Left rise a while, and then baked same as bread. She used a 8x8 pan.
She made her own bread sough, but you could use frozen. My sister uses frozen bread dough, and she puts sliced plums on top of hers.
