Quick and Easy Coffee Cake – No mixer needed!
If you’re looking for a hassle free cake to whip up in no time at all that will have you in and out of the kitchen in a snap, while satisfying your sweet tooth, you’ve landed on the right page.
For many of us out there, the kids have started school and where I live, they are doing it online. I have no problem with this for many reasons, including not having to be trapped in traffic on an almost daily basis – however, having them at home may require a few extra snacks to be kept on hand.
And really, it’s not only for kids. This quick cake goes really well with… you guessed it… coffee, tea or on its own. It’s light with a nutty topping that adds a sweet crunch with every bite.
