Fudge Pie and Coffe Cake Recipes

Here are two recipes I wanted to pass on to you. They both look yummy and easy but I haven't made them yet. They could be good recipes for company. You could freeze the coffee cake and pull it out when company arrives. Enjoy!

Fudge Pie
2 squares (2 ounces) semisweet chocolate
½ cup (1 stick) butter
1 cup sugar
2 eggs, beaten
One 9-inch unbaked pie crust

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Melt the chocolate and butter together in a heavy saucepan over low heat. Remove the pan from the heat and add the sugar, then the eggs; beat well. Pour the filling into the pie crust and bake for 25 minutes. Serve warm or cold, with ice cream or whipped cream or by itself.
(I use a store bought crust and pre-bake it for about 5 minutes on 400 degrees. Then while baking the pie I tent the edge of the pie crust so it does not overbrown.)

Yummy, Yummy Coffee Cake
½ cup butter (1 stick)
1 cup sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup sour cream
2 cups flour
1 t baking powder
1 t baking soda
½ t salt
Topping
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 t cinnamon (I generally add a little more of each for more of this mixture)

Cream butter and sugar together then add eggs and sour cream. Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Mix wet and dry together until incorporated. Spread ½ the batter in a 9 x 13 pan which has been sprayed with Pam. Sprinkle ¾ topping over batter. Carefully spread remaining batter then sprinkle remaining topping. Bake 325 degrees for 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Enjoy!
