The Lord's Prayer -


Matthew 6:7-13
7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
10 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

Coffee Cake Recipe To Try If You Invited a Friend to Tea..
Tuesday, September 25, 2007

Posted in My Recipe Box!

Here is a recipe you might want to try, if tea is at four and you need something sweet to serve with it: Raisin-Spice Coffee Cake. Although I have never made it, I'm sure it's delicious! But once you make it, you have to tell me about it!

2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
 1/3 cup butter, softened
1 cup milk
3 tsps. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. ground allspice
1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
1 egg
1/2 cup raisins
    Streusel (below)

Heat oven to 350*. Grease square pan, 9x9x2 inches. Beat all ingredients except raisins and Streusel on low speed 30 seconds. Beat on medium speed, scraping bowl occasionally, two minutes. Stir in raisins.

Spread half of the batter in pan;sprinkle with half of the Streusel. Top with remaining batter; sprinkle with remaining Streusel. Bake until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean, 40-45 minutes. 1 coffee cake (9 servings).

Streusel

1/3 cup firm butter
1/2 cup flour
1/3 cup packed brown sugar or regular sugar
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 cup chopped nuts

Cut butter into flour, brown sugar and cinnamon until crumbly; stir in nuts.

Streusel Coffee Cake:  Omit cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg and raisins in batter.
