Delicious Cranberry Hazelnut Coffee Cake

A moist coffee cake with a fine, cake-like texture and swirls of cinnamon sugar. Excellent for brunches or a snack. Wasn’t able to have any warm which I believe is the best way to enjoy coffee cake but this one sustained me all week for breakfasts. Great for eating in the car as there were very few crumbs.

Delicious Cranberry Hazelnut Coffee Cake

Ingredients:

• 1 ¾ cups cake flour
