I have a soft spot for coffee cake for a couple of reasons. First, I remember eating this cake a lot when I was a kid. Also, who doesn’t like a dessert that is served morning, noon and night? Coffee cake is the perfect excuse to have dessert for breakfast, to have an afternoon snack or as a post-dinner dessert. If you always find yourself needing more coffee (like myself and the Gilmore Girls!), then the cake is a perfect excuse to have a cup. On the other hand, if you have a sweet tooth, then maybe you just need to have a little something to snack on with your afternoon caffeine.

Southern Living recently released their list of “Dessert Recipes Just Like Grandma Used to Make” and this cinnamon coffee cake recipe made the cut. According to the magazine, this coffee cake is a favorite among their test kitchen staff members. Now that’s an endorsement.

We hope this recipe brings back sweet memories of spending time in your grandma's kitchen. Remember that grandma didn’t need a special occasion to whip up one of her delicious desserts – and neither do you.
