Who can resist the irresistible allure of bacon and maple syrup combined in a coffee cake, creating a delightful blend of sweet and savory flavors?
This coffee cake is soft and delicate. The combination of bacon and nuts in the crumbly topping complements the tastes of maple, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Delicious!
Enjoy this coffee cake with a steaming cup of coffee on a chilly Autumn morning. To me, it's absolute bliss!
The bacon though! – David H.
As I began preparing the coffee cake, I intended to have just a small bite and let the family savor the rest. However, upon tasting it, that initial nibble quickly evolved into a whole slice because I found it so delightful.
