The Best Coffee Cake Ever

Fluffy, moist, and perfect with a fresh pot of coffee, you have to try The Best Coffee Cake Ever!

I am pretty trusting when it comes to recipes from Ree Drummond and if she says that a recipe is the best ever, I know it will be the best ever. This coffee cake is the best ever. My husband's family has a secret squirrel sourdough coffee cake recipe that has been passed down for generations and I won't be posting it here on the blog. However, this recipe really reminds me of it, just minus the sourdough. It tastes much like that recipe. It's fluffy, moist, and the streusel is everything.

Recipe from The Pioneer Woman

If you want coffee cake to go, these Coffeehouse Coffeecake Muffins are just what you need. I want to try this recipe from Sprinkles Bakes that is her Favorite Coffee Cake because it has a layer of sweetened cream cheese layer.
