Holiday Favorite: Jewish Coffee Cake

Whether we’re ready or not, it’s holiday season!! Thanksgiving will be here before we know it and then we’ll be in full winter holiday mode.  This week I have been working on three different lists, a gift giving list, a Christmas wish list for Coffee Cake and Cardio, and a holiday treat/Christmas cookie list.

I really don’t know what list is my favorite because I absolutely love giving gifts to others, I love looking at all of the wonderful gifts that exist out there, and I love baking for my family, friends, and co-workers.

As I made my holiday treat/Christmas cookie list the first treat placed on the list was my Grandma Florence’s Jewish Coffee Cake!  It is my absolute favorite recipe during the holiday season and is a treat I enjoy every Christmas morning.

I can’t wait to make this treat and am thinking I need to make it both in November and in December.
