Carrot Cake Coffee Cake
"I know folks can be kinda particular about carrot cake, but for me, a good carrot cake needs 3 things. (Well, 4 things if you count the carrots…but that goes without saying, right?) 1) Walnuts. 2) Cream cheese frosting. 3) Raisins. (Although, truth be told, I can forego the raisins and still be happy. I don’t love raisins in general, but I feel like they go well in carrot cake.) So armed with these 3 ideas, I adapted my go-to coffee cake recipe to give it a Carrot Cake Coffee Cake flair. If you’re looking for a tasty treat, then this Carrot Cake Coffee Cake needs to appear on your kitchen counter! It might be socially frowned upon to eat carrot cake for breakfast, but coffee cake is totally acceptable. So bake this Carrot Cake Coffee Cake and serve it up for breakfast tomorrow…if it lasts that long! Enjoy, my friends!"
