SARA LEE BUTTER COFFEE CAKE - COPYCAT

Sara Lee Butter Coffee Cake - Copycat image

Posted in response to a request. Found in an online search. I have to admit, it sounds pretty good.... making note to self to try this soon EDITED TO SAY: I made this recipe yesterday to take to an early morning meeting at work. It was quite good and everyone liked it... even folks who don't generally like sweet things. I followed the directions exactly... even beating the batter for exactly 8 minutes. The results weren't "gag me w/ a spoon" sweet, thankfully and, altho buttery, not as buttery as the real thing. I will keep the recipe on file for future "I need to take something breakfast-y" reference.

Cream the butter and sugar together until they are light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Stir in the flour and baking powder until just combined.
Do not overmix the batter, as this will make the cake tough.
