Homemade Coffee Cake
I make tons and tons of desserts at home. Sweets are way to popular around here. I will sadly admit that my hubby is a HUGE fan of coffee cake with his morning coffee. This wife is pretty pathetic because I can never keep up with Mike’s coffee cake needs. I usually purchase store bought coffee cake for him because I was worried I couldn’t make coffee cake like the bakery.

Last week, I put my big girl pants on and made the most delicious Homemade Coffee Cake. I am talking out of this world amazing. I will never buy him store bought again.
I made a big 9X13 pan that lasted just a couple of days. A part of me believes that it was a good thing that I have perfected making this super buttery coffee cake. The other part of me knows that the hubby and I will both be enjoying more coffee cake than we probably should, ha ha.
Coffee cake is perfect for breakfast, perfect for snack and so perfect with my evening coffee. I am not sure of a time that coffee cake is not enjoyable.
I honestly can not believe that it has taken me this long to make a homemade coffee cake. With just a few ingredients from the pantry and tons and tons of butter, this cake can be made right at home. I am sure the Kroger bakery and Entenmann’s will be missing my $$’s, lol.
