I have a confession to make. I don’t like Breakfast. I am really bad at eating during the day. I get so focused on work I just don’t want to think about food. Then when I get home I am starving and can’t think of anything but food. So then I devour an unhealthy amount of food and sit for the rest of the night allowing the meal I just over ate to find a home somewhere on my body that Id rather it not be. The only way I will eat breakfast is if something is made already and I can just grab it and snack on it while I sip on coffee and start work first thing in the morning. Thats where a nice coffee cake comes in. Its filling and you can make it low carb and high in protein. I have a couple different go to recipes for coffee cake that I will make sure to share.
This particular coffee cake was meant for more of a dessert. Of course it did nothing to help me eat breakfast because it was a bit too sweet for first thing in the morning. BUT It was perfect for after dinner when your hankering for something sweet and great to bring to a family party. I don’t know about your family but we always have a little bit of Kaffee and Kuchen (coffee and cake) after dinner.
