Haylee’s Note:
This coffee cake was pretty good, but not my favorite. I have others that I like much more. I was really craving coffee cake this morning, but all of the recipes I had called for eggs, but I didn’t have any. So, if you ever need to make coffee cake on a Sunday when you don’t have eggs, this would be my recommended recipe. Also, I used dark brown sugar, instead of regular brown sugar, so it looks darker—but it wasn’t burned.
