Caramel Nut Breakfast Cake with Cinnamon Drizzle

Coffee cake PERFECTION! This recipe offers a moist, delicious cake with a brown sugar and nut crumble. It’s tied together with a cinnamon drizzle. Eat for breakfast, a snack OR dessert.

Pictures truly do not do this cake justice. I brought it for my coworkers and it was gobbled up quite quickly.

I love cooking things from scratch, but not going to lie. I doctored up cake mix recipe as a time saver and sometimes tastes just as good (if not better). Serve warm with your morning coffee and enjoy!
