The Ultimate Crumb Lovers Coffee Cake is perfect for breakfast, tea time or dessert. If you love crumbs you will love this cake.
We are hosting guests in a few weeks and I am looking for new recipes to try. One of the things guests love is coffee cake. It is an easy addition to breakfast, to eat as a snack or to serve for dessert as well. The Ultimate Crumb Lover’s Coffee Cake is perfect.
As with most of the recipes I find lately this one came from Pinterest. The Ultimate Crumb Lovers Coffee Cake is moist, spicy, and has a crunchy, buttery crumb topping, it doesn’t get any better than a bakery style cake made from scratch.

6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 tsp. ginger
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 tsp. ground cloves
1 tsp. baking soda

Directions for The Ultimate Crumb Lovers Coffee Cake
1. Preheat over to 350. Prepare a 9 x 13 inch pan with cooking spray and set aside.

Good morning sweet Elizabeth! Now this is a lovely weekend. I too spent it with my husband, perusing the garden shops and coming home with herbs for my pots. We then hauled a granite table out to the yard and it is HEAVEN on earth for me! Today is a decent day so I'm going out there to plant! Enjoy your day; I hope it's warm out your way! Anita
Anita, I was so hoping that you were not going to get any more bad weather this weekend! I would love to see photos of your garden so you must share!
Have a great week my dear! xox Elizabeth
Good Morning Elizabeth:) Your coffee cake looks delicious and sounds so good on the overcast-rainy Seattle morning. I've got 5 birthdays and my daughters graduation coming up in June…… so I will need LOTS of these kinds of recipes for house guests.
