Jewish Coffee Cake

Recipe Description

For a great coffee cake, try this simple and delicious Jewish Coffee Cake recipe. It’s my belief that everyone needs a favorite coffee cake recipe they can return to time and time again. After all, we’re a nation of coffee drinkers and cake and coffee are a match made in heaven!

This Streusel coffee cake recipe has a ribbon of delicious streusel running through the middle. Streusel is a crumbly mix of sugar, nuts and cinnamon, sometimes made with butter although I’ve left that out here. The cinnamon gives the cake a wonderful fragrance while the sweet nut mixture makes for a lovely surprise when you bite down into the cake. Altogether it’s light, moist and truly delicious!

To make Jewish Coffee Cake, you will need the following ingredients:
