I can’t even tell you how many tests this recipe has gone through to emerge the perfect slice you see in the photo. Coffee cake is relatively simple and straightforward, but it has three different components that can make or break your finished product. Pay special attention to the instructions in this recipe, and I can ensure your coffee cake will bake up perfect. This recipe makes a large 9x13 cake, because after all that effort it’s nice to have a lot of cake to show for it. I love doing a cardamom variation as opposed to traditional cinnamon, because there are few things that go best with coffee more than cardamom does. A true labor of love, I adore this cake very very much.
