I used to think Coffee Cake was a coffee-flavored cake. I mean, wouldn’t that make sense?? But apparently it’s not. It’s just a cake that’s meant to be enjoyed with a cup of coffee.
While there are countless recipe variations, Coffee Cake usually consists of a basic Vanilla Cake with a layer or two of cinnamon-sugar, which is sometimes topped off with a crumble or streusel.
But, being the lazy butt that I am, I wanted all the flavors of Coffee Cake without all the effort and time waiting for it to slowly bake away in the oven.
So I made an instant microwavable Coffee Cake.
A HEALTHY instant microwavable Coffee Cake.
It starts off with a basic Single-Serving Vanilla Cake which is then filled with a cinnamon-sugar swirl inside, plus a cinnamon-sugar topping for extra flavor. And in case you haven’t guessed it already… IT IS DELISHHH 😀
