Cinnamon Streusel Coffee Cake

by Irene Lindvall


We had a weird day today and I ended up making this coffee cake for a late lunch. I now realize that this can be made and eaten at any time of day - it is that good. I'm thankful to have used buttermilk for recipes over the holiday and am getting a lot of use out of the leftover carton. Other than that, all of the ingredients are things I usually have around the house so I can see making this often, especially since Eric was disappointed that I had the last slice for a snack instead of saving it for him for breakfast the next day. I think we both agreed the cake was delicious without be overwhelming in the cinnamon taste. It also wasn't overly sugary tasting and was incredibly moist - even the next day. 

I should note I was able to cut the cake into six small but generous portions. 

Things I learned from this recipe:

A 6 inch round cake pan is really hard to find. I ended up getting one at JoAnn Fabrics.

Would I make this recipe again?:

Definitely

The recipe - I'm keeping it easy. It's my favorite cooking magazine.
