It’s a very exciting holiday today! Today is National Coffee Cake Day! This is a great day because it celebrates two of my favorite things…coffee and cake! I can’t start my day off without coffee and this coffee cake is perfect for breakfast or a light treat. It is made with yogurt so it is moist, but still light! Plus, I used whole wheat flour to make it even healthier for breakfast. The delicious taste of cinnamon is so strong and everyone who tried this cake found it to be a huge hit! Go ahead, make this cake, grab a cup of coffee and enjoy!
