I was really thinking about us going on a field trip today, had a few places in mind. And then there was a beautiful children’s book I wanted to tell you about. But guess what won out? This Jewish Coffee Cake recipe. We took a vote at our house. It’s really cold out, and everyone wants to sleep in a little and have Jewish Coffee Cake for breakfast. The nutmeg and cinnamon in this recipe pair perfectly with your morning coffee. This recipe has been in my extended family for as long as I can remember, and it’s the staple coffee cake in our house. Jewish Coffee Cake: simple to make, moist and delicious.

The nutmeg and cinnamon in Jewish Coffee Cake pair perfectly with a steamin’ cup o’ joe!

Notes

Don't have buttermilk? Add 4 teaspoons of vinegar to the milk. Let sit for 5 minutes and use as buttermilk in the recipe.
It's not a typo: this recipe does not call for eggs!
Remember to reserve the 1 1/2 cups sugar/flour mixture for the topping.
This freezes well if you're lucky enough to have leftovers.
I use freshly grated nutmeg in this recipe.
Use pecans or walnuts for the topping. I used pecans.
