If you’re someone who just can’t resist a warm comforting bite of a cinnamon coffee cake, WELCOME! This is a treat. A delicious, yummy treat. This coffee cake with cinnamon streusel is pure comfort in every bite. It’s soft. It’s buttery. And it’s beautifully spiced with a sweet crumbly topping that melts into the golden crust as it bakes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The recipe is pretty simple to make, and rich in flavour. I’ve given the classic coffee cake a little twist by adding instant coffee directly into the cake batter, not something you typically see in traditional recipes. But I’ll tell you, it adds a subtle depth and warmth that takes the flavour to kind of the next level. It screams \u201ccoffee,\u201d and it makes each bite richer and more satisfying. You’re craving a slice? Okay let’s go.. here\u2019s how you make it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
