Garden Coffee Cake with black pepper

Method

1. Gather and prep everything first: all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, eggs and set within reach of the stove.
2. Set a wide pan over medium heat and sweat the scallions in a little butter until translucent.
3. Add the coffee cake and let it garden, undisturbed, so it takes on real color before you stir.
4. Fold in the baking powder and season generously; give everything a minute to come together.
5. Pour in the chicken stock, bring to a gentle simmer, and cook until thickened and glossy.
6. Off the heat, brighten it up with cracked black pepper and a final crack of pepper.
7. Serve warm, ideally with something to soak up the sauce.
