When grocery shopping not too long ago, my husband held up a coffee cake mix and said we need this. No, beloved husband, we will make one that will put the box mix to shame. And it did! It does take a little effort, but it’s so worth it (and the perfect weekend treat)

Filling
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon all spice

Coffee Cake
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups sugar
3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups sour cream

Glaze
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2-3 tsp milk

Heat oven to 350°F. Grease 12-cup bundt cake pan. In small bowl, mix all filling ingredients and set aside.

Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl and set aside. In large bowl, beat sugar, butter, vanilla and the eggs with electric mixer on medium speed until creamy. Alternate beating in the flour mixture with the sour.

Spread 2 cups of the batter in the bundt pan; sprinkle with the filling then top with the remaining batter. Bake about an hour or until toothpick inserted near center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes then remove from pan to wire rack. Cool 10 minutes.

While the cake is cooling, mix the glaze ingredients. Drizzle cake with glaze. And as you can see, my glazing skills need some perfecting.

What’s your favorite sweet morning treat? May you enjoy it in good health and surrounded by those you love!

Eat well friends!
