Streusel Coffee Cake Pound Cake

Enjoy this Southern old-fashioned tender, buttery coffee cake and pound cake with family and friends for special weekends and brunches!  Feeds a crowd, looks elegant and tastes like heaven!

As soon as I made the cake, my husband started whining.  Pretty much non-stop.  Kind of driving me nuts.  You know what I mean?  I was hearing….When can I have the cake??  Kimmm…Can I have some coffee cake yet?  How long do I have to wait??  Ready yet?? I’m going to get some cake nowwww!  Ok???  Nowwww???

Ugh…Just think of that only 20 times over and over…yep, good times! 🙂

But then, it’s no wonder!

It looked beautiful and golden and the intoxicating smell of brown sugar, cake, vanilla and cinnamon was arousing and swirling through the house. Mmmm-mmmm
