I saw this great recipe on Amber’s Sprinkled With Flour blog, and thought it would be a great version of a coffee cake to make. The only think I did different was to add a little pineapple extract to the batter and icing, and exchanged the walnuts for sliced almonds from the original recipe.
It came out beautifully. And you could definitely taste the pineapple! Sometimes fruit flavors are hard to taste in a coffee cake, but not this one! You could even add a little toasted coconut to the topping ingredients as well! This is very easy to make, no mixer, just mix by hand, and its ready to bake! This is a coffee cake you gotta try!
