Platz-Coffee Cake with Fruit and Crumbs-from Mennonite Girls Can Cook
1 C A/P flour
1/2 C sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 C butter
1/2 C milk
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 tsp vanilla
fruit

- Mix flour sugar and baking powder in bowl, cut in butter with fork/pastry blender till combined-or add all to a food processor.
- Stir in the wet ingredients until just combined.
- Pour into well greased 9x13 pan and spread evenly (they say you can use a 9x9 if needed but Platz is traditionally a thinner cake).
- Top with finely diced fresh or frozen fruit of your choice (I used two 14oz cans of sliced peaches in juice-not syrup- and dried them as well as I could, even blotting with paper towels). You want to cover as much of the batter as you can with fruit.
Topping:
1 1/2 C A/P flour
1 1/2 C sugar
1/2 C butter, melted
- Mix all to make crumbs and sprinkle evenly over cake.
- Bake at 350 degrees in top third of oven for about 30 minutes or until golden brown.
