Now that coffee shops are closed, I’ve been on the hunt for a delicious coffee cake recipe, and this one is perfect! I love that swirl layer in the middle.
I haven’t made a coffee cake in a while and yours looks so good, especially with the cream cheese filling inside.
Yum – Thanks Constance.
I had to make this three times in one 3 day visit from my relatives. They kept fighting over the last two pieces!!! So I sent them home with some.
what size spring form pan did you use? 8”?, 9”?, 10”?
I love cream cheese anything…but it doesn't love me. Yummy!
