Hello Moist Cinnamon-y Buttery Coffee Cake!
I personally don’t even drink coffee due to acid reflux, but I made you all lucky coffee drinkers this coffee cake (mine will be a tea cake I guess). This cake is also super easy to make, no-streusel, no-stress!
You’ll simply whip up a vanilla cake, pour half the batter into your baking dish, sprinkle cinnamon and sugar, pour the rest of the batter on, more cinnamon and sugar, and a little drizzle of butter, just enough to give it that buttery flavor without clogging up your arteries.
Just look at those layers!
Let me know if you give the recipe a try!
