Streusel Coffee Cake with Icing!

 

A favorite recipe of mine from my cookbook, Baking for the Holidays, is the Streusel Coffee Cake, found in the Morning Baking chapter. I have always loved coffee cake, with its tender cake base, topping of streusel, and thick coat of icing.

It's hard to find a perfect piece of it, though – all the streusel and icing can cause its flavor profile to be just too sweet. After much testing, I found using my white cake base gives it a tender crumb, and a swirl of cream cheese lends some needed tang. I have the recipe for you on the blog, with a raspberry variation that I also love. Swirling with lemon curd is also a delicious option.

Baking for the Holidays, is a collection of 50+ holiday-inspired sweets and treats recipes, including morning pastries and buns (my cinnamon rolls are there with lots of variations!, plus many more yeasted treats), holiday desserts, recipes that make great gifts, and a whole chapter on "Beyond Christmas", for those long, cold months of the new year (always winter, never Christmas). I can't wait for you to bake from this one and start making traditions of your own. ❤️
