I love coffee cakes…And this Apricot Almond Coffee Cake with Crumble Topping is nooo different! Who doesn’t love tender coffee cake, with bites of sweet Apricot jam, and crunchy almond topping?
I got this from a Cooking with Paula Deen magazine that I cut out years ago. I cut receipe’s I want to make out of magazines and organize them in a file folder pocket file so I can review them when I’m looking for something to make. Believe it or not I finally got to make it! I think the recipe was from 2011!
I can tell you it was well worth the wait. You can make this with fresh strawberry jam, raspberry jam, and flavor that suits you.
It is perfect for a bake and take function, and keeps well for days.
