Old-fashioned coffee cake is a classic, delicious treat that’s perfect for breakfast or dessert. It’s typically a moist, tender cake with a cinnamon-sugar topping and sometimes a crumbly streusel layer. The aroma of cinnamon and sugar baking together is simply irresistible. Enjoy a slice with a cup of hot coffee for a delightful and comforting experience.
