Notes
-
This recipe could be baked right away, but we tested it for refrigerating overnight so you could have a fresh, warm coffee cake in the morning without all the hassle of preparation.
-
Some people prefer to prepare the pan with only cooking spray. If it's your preference to flour to pan as well, go right ahead!
- Since this cake is so special, you may just want to whip up a batch of Viennese Coffee to serve with it!
