Coffee Cake

This has been one of my favorite discoveries! When I first made coffee cake I knew it would be one of my favorite breakfasts. I thought it would be one of the more complex treats but it’s so simple. I’ve done it so much I think I can whip it up in 20 minutes flat!

This food is super simple and without any extravagant ingredients and tools. I like to whip some dough up the night before and serve them for breakfast on any given day.

It also goes super well with cream cheese!
