    I love the word "streusel." I love the thing streusel too! Cassidy was up baking around 6am today and the house smelled wonderful. It was cookies, but oh, for it to have been coffee cake too!

    I couldn't believe how easy this coffee cake was to make. I had one whipped up in no time and topping was A-1. I've always loved streusel toppings. They aren't too sweet, just enough to satisfy the sweet tooth. This recipe is a keeper.

Hi, I'm Raquel! I am a self-proclaimed foodie and have enjoyed cooking and baking since I was little. I loved baking cookies with my mother and grandma as a child, and later making dinners for my parents to foster my passion while in high school. I also had a passion for organizing and keeping things tidy.
