Pumpkin Coffee Cakes

October 31, 2014

I’ve been waiting for an excuse to make coffee cake for some time now, and with the fall weather and festivities I couldn’t think of a better moment.  To add an appropriate twist on this classic treat, I made a Pumpkin Coffee Cake.

Hope you enjoy my take on coffee cake  as much as I did, and tune in for more #PumpkinWeek to come!
