Cinnamon Walnut Coffee Cake, the perfect fall Comfort Cake. Full of the taste of Cinnamon and Walnuts. Eat it for Breakfast, Snack or even Dessert. This is a Cake everyone will love.

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!

      Hi,
      Do you spray your pans with cooking spray, or shortening and flour them, or do nothing at all?
      Thanks!

      Looks delicious! Have you ever tried muffin tin instead of the tube pan? If so, what adjustments would you recommend?

        Hi Abby, I have not made muffins with it, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work, start by baking them for about 30 minutes, check at 25 (of course it also depends on the size of your muffin tin). Let me know how it goes.

      After I retired, I took up baking. I’m still fairly new to it, about a year and found your Walnut Cinnamon Coffee Cake. Recently my husband gave me a Kitchenaide stand mixer and I have made this recipe four times and counting! It has turned out perfectly each time and I have had multiple requests for the recipe. The directions are clear, logical and I appreciate the weights being given. For me, weighing everything that I can gives me more consistent results. I had a friend retire and he requested this cake as a gift! Thank you very much for sharing it with us!

        Hi Judith yes you can although the taste might be a little different. Sour cream has a more tangy taste whereas yogurt is a bit sweeter. Let me know how it goes.

      Rosemary,

      Where have you been all my baking life?! Seriously, your Cinnamon Walnut Coffee Cake is the rage in my family: my grown sons request this cake for their own homes. Sliced and frozen, I warm each piece in the Breville toaster oven, 5 minutes, 350 degrees. One son eats it right out of the freezer!

      I returned to your website to find additional recipes. Thank you so much!!
      Best,
      Ronnie

        Hi Ricci, this recipe will fit 2 8 inch square pans, but it isn’t a good idea to half it. Hope that helps.

          Hi rose,

          Tried the cake today and although the batter didn’t turn out like yours (less viscous), it’s absolutely tasty ,moist and fluffy !
          Best recipe I’ve tried so far, thank you! 🙂
