Cinnamon Walnut Coffee Cake

As I write this there is only five more days till Christmas. And I still have so much to do. I still have to wrap, get my cookie plates together to give to friends and family members and who knows how many other things I have to do and you too I imagine!

With the mild weather here in Italy I find it really hard sometimes to even believe it is Christmas. If I could only have one day of snow it would be on Christmas.

As a child Christmas is presents, Santa, hoping it is going to snow and a really cute outfit to wear. Now as an adult it’s the buying of the presents and of course feeding the hungry  guests (they always seem hungrier on Christmas).

I remember my family  Christmases  in Canada as  being a continual eat-a-thon. There was food everywhere, we started in the morning and didn’t stop till midnight, ok maybe a slight exaggeration but you get my drift.

One of my favourite parts was brunch. Do you still do brunch? It is actually becoming quite the thing here in Italy.

We would eat bacon, eggs and a couple of quick breads and a wonderful delicious coffee cake. And this my friends is one of the best ones I have ever made or eaten.

I love the combination of nuts and cinnamon and it really is moist and don’t you just love when a cake rises so high that you need to take two bites from one fork full of cake. Don’t forget the yummy centre filling and streusel topping.

Oh how I love cinnamon,  as far as I am concerned nothing beats cinnamon, ok maybe Chocolate. So if you are looking for a tasty Coffee Cake to make you won’t be disappointed with this Cinnamon Walnut Coffee Cake. Enjoy!
