Friday is National Coffee Day so this week I’ll be sharing some of our favorite coffee-based recipes. I’m personally not much of a coffee-drinker but I really do like cooking and baking with it.
That being said this cake doesn’t actually have any coffee in it. Nevertheless it’s easy to make and is the perfect sweet compliment to a morning cup of joe (or hot tea if that’s your thing)!
It’s a simple pleasure. Tender cake topped with a crunchy cinnamon, sugar, and pecan streusel crumble.
For breakfast? A hot cuppa and slice. For mid-afternoon slump? A hot cuppa and slice. For after dinner drinks and desserts? A hot cuppa and slice.
Try it and try to tell me otherwise.
