Name: Plum Streusel Coffee Cake
Ingredients: 3/4 c Brown sugar, firmly packed; 3 tb All-purpose flour; 2 ts Cinnamon; 1/2 ts Salt; 3 tb Softened butter; 1/2 c Chopped walnuts; 16 Halved & pitted, plums; 1/4 c Granulated white sugar for coating plums; 1/2 ts Salt; 2 ts Baking powder; 2 c Sifted all-purpose flour; 3/4 c Granulated white sugar; 1/4 c Soft shortening; 1 Egg, beaten; 1/2 c Milk

The proper response to God's whole counsel is first to find one's need-love met in sharing with Him, through the Holy Spirit (the joy experienced by God), and then second to make that joy full by talking about it with other people… We will also want to "double our joy" by discussing with fellow Christians the implications of God's great purpose for the world. So even though there will be no more evangelizing to do in (heaven), yet we Christians can continue to have the increased joy of talking about God's love with others.

INSTRUCTIONS

STREUSEL
BATTER
Streusel: Mix all ingredients together, well.
Batter: Gently mix plum halves with 1/4 cup sugar until fruit is evenly
coated.  Combine the sifted flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Sift into
mixing bowl.  Cut shortening into dry ingredients with pastry blender. Add
egg, beaten until thick and lemon colored. Combine with milk. Stir just
until dry ingredients are moistened. Spread half of batter into buttered
9x9x2" baking dish.  Sprinkle with half the streusel mixture. Distribute 16
plum halves evenly over the surface, spread remaining batter over the plum
halves; cover with the remainder of the streusel mixture and top with the
remaining plum halves.  Bake in a 350 degree over until done, about 50
minutes. Yield 16 generous squares. Wrap any leftover coffee cake in foil
to keep fresh for eating cold or heated the next day.
