Who doesn’t love coffee cake?? Especially when it’s warm and fresh out of the oven! We had a long weekend and I wasn’t able to get to the grocery store. I had to wake up the kids for school this morning when I realized that I had just under a cup of milk… so no cereal or oatmeal… and we only had a few eggs… so no eggs and toast either! I wasn’t sure what I was going to do for breakfast, when I realized I DID have everything for coffee cake! If I can whip this up on a school morning for my four chitlins and my neighbors three as well…. then you KNOW it has to be an easy and quick recipe!! 🙂 They devoured the coffee cake and wanted second and third helpings… if I had let them! But I have a friend coming over this morning… so I made them save her ONE piece! 🙂 They were happy campers as they trotted off to school after having “CAKE” and bananas for breakfast. I might be in trouble though…. I think I’ve opened pandora’s box on this one! They’re going to want Coffee Cake every morning now!! Uh oh…… 😉
