For as long as I can remember, for every family brunch or holiday, my family makes this wonderful Cinnamon Nut Coffee Cake. It just wouldn’t be a special occasion without it! This cake is topped with a crunchy cinnamon- nut mixture, while more cinnamon & nuts are swirled into the moist cake. A slice of this delightful cake with a hot cup of coffee is pure heaven! This recipe is fairly simple to prepare and serves 12. Treat your family and friends and bring this to your next get together! This cake also freezes beautifully.
