Ma’s Coffee Cake
Ma knows best, especially when it comes to our Ma’s coffee cake recipe!
Coffee cake has been a staple at our breakfast table for years, and is always a request when having family or loved ones over for brunch or coffee. And of course, at our house everything we bake is with maple sugar! Which is kinda the key to the flavor of this coffee cake…the maple sugar adds just enough of that maple flavor to taste oh so gourmet! Plus, it’s a great sugar alternative if you’re looking to cut back on refined sugar or add a healthy dose of essential vitamins & minerals.
