Hello Friends,
I have been working hard getting this website cleaned up so hopefully all the posts that were not loading properly will now. If you come across a problem–please shoot ne an email or leave me a comment. I originally posted Cowboy (coffee) Cake recipe back in 2009 and felt in needed to come out of the archives! This cowboy cake (coffee cake) is a family favorite and was a staple when I was raising my five boys. I am really not sure how it got the name of Cowboy cake but I think that may have added to it’s charm for my boys. They all LOVED this coffee cake and would come running when I announced it was for breakfast. It is a super simple and basic brown sugar and cinnamon cake that just hits the spot. You could add some pecan or walnuts if you like nuts, but sadly, my husband and boys are not fans! They think that nuts just ruin baked goods! Silly boys! Personally I think nuts would be fabulous sprinkled on top before baking.
I hope you enjoy this sweet Cowboy Cake, a truly beloved recipe in our family! It is so easy to make and since everyone loved it so much, I have made it a lot over the years!

Could you please elaborate on the directions a bit? I am not sure how to stir up the first part of the recipe with the flour, butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Do we do that in a mixer with a paddle attachment, or do we cut the butter in with a cutter? I’m just not clear.
