This cake is my go to recipe to bring for brunches or if we’re visiting relatives or friends. It’s easy to make and everyone gobbles it up…plus it’s super simple to make. I am more of a cook than a baker, so I need all of the easy recipes I can get.

Unlike normal store-bought coffee cake, this is light and fluffy. I find most ones you buy to be crumbly and dry. This is a cinnamon and apple cider variety, but you can easily add other fruit into the mix…or even pumpkin! Blueberry lemon would be ah-mazing.

Warning: this coffee cake is addicting! I had to send it up to the school for the teachers or I would have polished it off. Pumpkin spice is found cheaply this time of year at Aldi, Trader Joe’s or at your local grocery store. You can leave it out if you can’t find it!

      It’s just from the cinnamon/sugar mixture! Once it bakes, it gets the crunch!
