The perfect cake to go along with a cup of coffee or tea, a deliciously moist Crunchy Coffee Cake, a buttery brown sugar and chocolate chip crumb used as a filling and topping! The perfect coffee cake.
Crunchy Coffee Cake
I am actually reposting this recipe, because I it’s a darn good cake and because I wanted to take new photos. I love reading about the fact that this Crunchy Coffee Cake was the start of my posting of North American Desserts. Some my Mom made and most that I grew up with.
Hi to all,
I’m writing this post for one main reason, which is to let you all know that I’m going to slightly change the focus of my blog.
As a proud Canadian living the best of both worlds, I’ve decided that I won’t ignore my Canadian roots and I won’t be selfish either. in fact, from now on my blog will become a hybrid, a mix of Italian and Canadian recipes my family and I love.
I know that the Italian dishes I usually prepare when I have people over for dinner are always much appreciated, but my Italian friends, like any other curious human being, are always very excited when dessert time comes around.
Some Delicious Italian Desserts
Mascarpone Cake with Raspberry Cream
Jam Filled Italian Crostata Pie
The reason is very simple, they all know I will come out of the kitchen with some huge tray filled with creamy, North American, deliciousness that I learned to make from my years living across the ocean.
I’ve decided to update my blog with a range of different recipes. From now on I will be sharing with you not only my Italian side, my day-by-day life adventures in a country full of history and amazing food, but I will also share my Canadian recipes. My husband and my daughters have a very sweet tooth and I’m guessing I’m the one to blame. oops!
So get ready and enjoy all these delicious recipes I have in stock and ready for you to cook and enjoy with the ones you love.
Some Delicious North American Desserts
No Bake Mixed Berry Cheesecake
Thick Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
Old Fashioned Gingerbread Cake
The recipe I chose to start with is a delicious Coffee Cake, that I started to serve Easter Sunday for breakfast, a deliciously soft, moist cake with a crunchy topping.
Enjoy!

January 16, 2019 at 4:52 amHi Roemary,
I love making cakes and I’m going to add this one to my repertoire. Sounds interesting; shall try making it. The title, ‘ An Italian in my kitchen’ sounds very inviting. It reminds of Shel Silverstein’s poem, ‘There’s a Polar bear in our frigidaire.’Have a great time baking!
