coffee cake

Here's the coffee cake recipe that Mildred sent me. I won't be making it. I'm already stressing out about the cupcakes I have to make for the Missionary Society meeting on the 15th. Anyway, Mildred served this as a snack on Quilting day and everybody raved. I make a point not to eat sweets but took a piece to be polite and it was very good.

Pumpkin Cheese Cake

2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 1/4 cups cooked or canned pumpkin
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups flour
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

FILLING:
1 pkg. (8ozs.) cream cheese, softened
1 egg
1 tablespoon sugar

TOPPING:
3/4 cup flaked coconut
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

In a large bowl, beat sugar, eggs, pumpkin, oil and vanilla. Combine the flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt; add to egg mixture and mix well. Pour into a greased 13 x 9 x 2 baking dish.
In a small bowl, beat cream cheese, egg and sugar until smooth. Drop tablespoons over batter; cut through batter to swirl.
Combine topping ingredients; sprinkle over top. Bake @ 350 for 35 to 40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
