    Can This Strawberry Cream Cheese Coffee Cake be Made Ahead of Time?

    • Yes, you can make this cake ahead of time!  It tastes delicious fresh out of the oven but even better on the next day after it has been warmed slightly.
    • Store it covered at room temperature or in the fridge if you want to keep it longer. It will keep fresh for 2-3 days, but don't count on it!  It's gonna go fast!

    Tried this recipe?Let us know how it was!

    I found this recipe on Life's Simple Measures.  I'm ecstatic I found it, baked it, ate it and now I'm sharing this recipe with you because it's definitely a winner!

    Since it's close to Mother's day, I am throwing these humorous quotes out there, because my siblings won't like it and it makes me chuckle.  This is what we siblings do, right? 🙂
