Here’s something special for Christmas brunch or anytime for that matter! Not only is this coffee cake delicious but it’s easy to make with ingredients that are readily available. Sometimes coffee cakes can be a bit heavy but this cake is light as a feather and oh…so…yummy! I use pecans but walnuts would work just fine. Any leftover pieces, if there are any, can be heated in the microwave. Serve warm with a bit of butter.

Here’s what we’ll need.
