This isn’t just coffee cake — it’s the kind of comfort bake that makes the whole house smell like cinnamon and coziness. It’s soft in the middle, golden on top, and crowned with a thick, buttery crumb that is addicting.
It’s the recipe you pull out for slow Sundays, visitors, or just because you want a little treat. My family is in love with this one + they get so excited when they see it on my counter, ready to be served.
Let’s get into it!!
