Homemade coffee cake that pairs perfectly with a cup of coffee for those mornings! This is topped with a sweet cinnamon streusel topping that makes this taste like it’s straight for your favorite coffee shop!
Did you know that coffee cake doesn’t usually have coffee? It started off as a sweet bread that typically pairs well with coffee in the morning, which eventually turned into a coffee crumble cake like this!
There’s just something about having a slice with a cup of warm coffee in the morning. It brings a sense of comfort and that’s what I’m all about!
Whenever I go to a coffee shop, I always get a blueberry muffin or coffee cake. It’s one of my two go-to’s unless there is something else more enticing to me.
I was so happy with how this recipe came out! I’ve made multiple coffee cake recipes and nothing came out as good as this one. That’s what it’s like to bake right? You just keep playing around with ingredients and hope that it comes out okay! 🙂 Trust me, you won’t want to miss out on this recipe.
What drink would you pair this coffee cake with? I also love chai and matcha lattes! 🙂
