this is cake for a cuppa

*Coffee cake I made for new years' day brunch.
*This is the recipe i used. except i forgot the walnuts. it still turned out well though.

*Coffee cake is special because it is a treat made for a drink. I like non-alcoholic food-drink pairings (probably because I do not particularly enjoy alcohol). Like green tea + a dense lemon pound cake. Or dark chocolate + a cappuccino. Or (almond) milk + a fudgy, practically flourless brownie (better than milk + cookies). One of my favorite things about Italy was having a couple of crunchy, buttery frollini with a cup of English breakfast tea.
