There is nothing quite so good as coffee cake. It has it's own little place in the world. It brushes aside its sugary counterparts, the chocolate torte, or cousin strawberry shortcake. My little coffee cake is not dull like hard scones, or mediocre banana muffins. It has it's own sweet simplicity to it that, if done correctly, puts a smile on my face anyday as a tempting afternoon snack.
I have only recently discovered my love for the cinnamon topped treat. Not that I didn't know coffee cake existed before, but I hadn't really noticed it's lovely texture and simple taste. If any of you know me personally, you know that I do not care for the flavor of coffee, therefore, I am not one of the millions who strides into Starbucks day after day to order a granda mocha latte double whip no-smack frappacino. But while visiting said institution with my dear friend Victoria a few months back, I sampled their simple coffeecake - and was hooked.
Perhaps this should be an essay on the obvious amounts of addictive substance that Starbucks MUST be injecting into their consumables to have created even such a loyal follower as I, but I will restrain myself and enjoy my little square of starbucks coffee cake for now. :)
Happy Monday
