Spicy Cranberry Coffee Cake
We always have a lot of friends and family that stop by the cottage to say hello during the holidays, and I like to have a nice coffee cake to serve with a cup of coffee or hot chocolate. This coffee cake has a spicy cranberry flavor and is just delicious. It freezes well so that means we can have another one on hand when the last slice is gone. I love a nice slice of this coffee cake, a cup of coffee and time with a friend.
