Coffee Cake
Raise your hand if you love coffee cake! I’m betting that like me, you can’t resist a piece of such scrumptious deliciousness when it comes your way. I’ve had this recipe on an old recipe card knocking around my pantry for ages and my family loves it when I whip it out and whip up one of these in no time at all.
This recipe makes a small 8 x 8 pan but it is chock full of crunchy goodness that really gives this cake its signature taste. I love how the softness of the cake contrasts with the sweet nuttiness of the topping. It’s perfect with a cup of tea or as a quick after school snack for the kiddos.
Did I mention that you don’t need a mixer for this recipe either? No need to thank me! You’re welcome! LOL!
Here are the ingredients:
So here it is, my take on coffee cake – and for anyone wondering, sorry, there is no coffee in this coffee cake!
