I love this coffee cake! It’s a wonderful white butter cake, adorned with a classic cream cheese filling, juicy roasted strawberries and a delicious cinnamon streusel.
See why I love this coffee cake?
Look at those divine layers!
I found this recipe on Life’s Simple Measures. She was obviously impressed with this coffee cake, as was I, because she could not wait to make it after she bookmarked it. She knew it was a winner and she was so right!! I’m ecstatic I found it, baked it, ate it and now I’m sharing this recipe with you.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the Mom’s! Happy Mother’s Day to my Mom, best Mommy in the world!
And I am throwing this quote out there, because my siblings won’t like it and it makes me chuckle.
and…I’m guilty of this…
If you want to share the love with your Mom, here’s a great starting point.
Now get to baking! Here’s the recipe!
