Notes
Don't over mix. Mixing your ingredients too much can alter the texture of your coffee cake and give it a much more dry crumb.
Don't overbake: Oven models vary, so we recommend starting with the lowest recommended baking time first to ensure that your cake isn't dry.
To check for doneness, insert a knife or toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, it's done baking. If not, give it another few minutes before testing again.
Store in an air tight container at room temperature for 4 days or in the fridge for a week.
Freeze individually wrapped servings for up to 3 months. This makes it easy to grab the amount you need to defrost.
