When it comes to cake my family is a fan of my raw rustic coffee cakes which as cinnamon as the main flavor rather than having a heavy creamy cake. This is one of a kind coffee cake with cream cheese as the main ingredient.
Coffee cakes generally have two-layer. The main cake layer and the second Streusel topping on top of the cake. The topping is just Cinnamon, butter, all-purpose flour, and brown sugar. The top streusel layer gives the cake an extra sweetener then once the cake cool completely we top the cake with the sugar glaze.
