Pineapple Coffee Cake

pineapple-cake
Did you eat too much over Easter? I know I did, but it was sooo worth it. Our family gathering had a delicious collection of pot-luck dishes, including this Pineapple Coffee Cake I decided to try from Better than Burger’s blog.

I loved how tall and moist this coffee cake turned out, and the yummy crumble topping was perfect. I also added a pineapple glaze to drizzle on top. I find with most coffee cakes that they taste even better the next day, after they’ve had time to settle a bit. This cake was no exception and was even more moist and flavorful the next day. What was your favorite Easter dish?

Yes, I have to admit that I ate a bit more than I should have on Sunday. The fact that I didn't have to cook any of it helped. We did have ham and I can just imagine how amazing that coffee cake would taste with a slice for breakfast (or dinner). I like your addition of the pineapple glaze on the top. It's perfect.
