I have a French style enamel coffee pot to show off today. I am guessing this style is from the 1920's? Does anyone know?
I have made a a simple Baking Powder Coffee Cake to go with this coffee. This was a recipe from a Depression-era cookbook. I love these recipes they are simple and sustaining. The recipes use ingredients you have on hand.
Baking Powder Coffee Cake
1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoon shortening
1 egg (beaten)
1/2 cup milk
3 tablespoons butter (melted)
Streusel crumbs (recipe below)
Sift together the dry ingredients. Work the shortening in with a pastry cutter or 2 forks. Stir in egg and milk; press lightly into greased 8-inch x 8-inch x 2-inch cake pan. Pour melted butter over top, sprinkle with streusel crumbs and bake in a 400 degree oven for 30 minutes. Cut and serve warm.
Streusel Crumbs
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Cut in butter and sugar with a pastry cutter or 2 forks. Add flour and cinnamon. Mix till crumbly and sprinkle on top of dough.
I will be styling and cooking a lot more Depression-era recipes. My Depression-era cookbook collection just keeps growing!

That coffee pot is fabulous. I collect them and don't even drink coffee. I would eat that coffee cake, though. I'd be thrilled if you would join Country Whites Weekend this Friday.

LOVE that coffee pot! I don't know when it was from, but when I was a little girl, my mom had some stackable enamel containers that looked a lot like that.
