Stacey had us over the other night for some family fun. It is always so much fun to get together, the kids love hanging out and we enjoy talking and playing cards. She always has so much yummy food for us and some pretty spectacular drinks too! I decided to bring over a coffee cake. I’ve been craving a lot of cinnamon lately, so this was perfect when I found it here on Pinterest.
This cake is so good and easy to make you will have a hard time not making it all the time. It reminds me of cinnamon toast and coffee cake put together. The brown sugar and cinnamon on top get that delicious crust texture. Mmmmmmm. My mouth is watering now and I don’t have anything but the picture to look at! I know we aren’t making your New Year’s resolutions stick but we will soon, I promise.

Thanks! I love cinnamon and sugar and now this cake.
Oh.My.Gosh. I could eat this all by myself! OK, well maybe not all of it, but pretty darn close! Just give me 1/2 a pot of coffee and I’ll be good to go
So happy you keep coming back and sharing at Wicked Good Wednesdays! Love you ladies!

Thanks Rachel! It is pretty yummy. A very dangerous cake to make when you don’t have other people around to help you eat it.
This cake looks like it would be gone really fast if I served it for breakfast. I love cinnamon rolls! Thanks for sharing

This recipe was great! My only suggestion would be to add a little more salt. I think it needs 1/2 a teaspoon instead of 1/4.
