The thing about coffee cake is that… well, it’s COFFEE cake and coffee is for breakfast so technically I think this cake is an acceptable breakfast right?! Are you with me on this?
I’ve used Cherry Pie filling inthiscake you can certainly substitute it with your favorite pie filling like blueberry or peach.
This dessert makes for a VERY full baking pan. You’ll be fine if you’re using a 9″ round springformpan however if you are using a 9×9 square pan, you’ll want to make sure the edges are at least 2″ high to avoid leaking over the sides as this bakes. I lined my 9×9 pan with a large piece of parchmentpaperleaving some overhang on each side. This makes the cake easy to remove from the pan and cut but also helps eliminate drips. Do not use a smaller pan than a 9×9 orit will overflow.
