This Cranberry Almond Coffee Cake is perfect for breakfast and brunch.  I especially love this during the holidays.  There is nothing quite like being snuggled up in a blanket when its snowing outside, drinking hot chocolate, and eating this cake.  Winter goals. 

Cranberry Almond Coffee Cake is so much better than regular old coffee cake.  It is perfectly moist (sorry, there just isn’t a better word) and infused with cranberry and almond flavor then topped off with a crumbly almond streusel topping.  Definitely worth getting out of bed for.

My husband had me make this cake for a brunch at his work and it got completely devoured.  Even my husband, who is not a big cake fan, loves this coffee cake.
