Good morning, Coffee Cake

“It smells like cinnamon rolls.” I made my very first coffee cake yesterday and it was a hit! This recipe is easy and made with ingredients you likely have on hand. When we shared the cake with a friend, they raved and insisted it should not be the last time we make this cake. Inspired […]
