Coffee Cake

Good evening! I thought this recipe would be appropriate to share because of the much welcomed cooler weather we are experiencing here in Texas..I really don't miss those 110 degree days! I can finally sense that Fall is on it's way, and that makes me excited since it's one of my most favorite times of the year. I can't wait to finally take my baby girl for a walk outside and not have to worry about her poor little self sweating in her stroller. There's nothing like having something cinnamon scented baking when the weather is cool. This coffee cake was delicious, if you're craving some Fall goodies, bake this up ASAP! :)
