The most perfect Coffee Cake. I can tell you from experience that this will make any Monday better. Or literally any day of the week this will boost your mood. It is the perfect balance between sweet and nutty. It will go perfectly with your morning brew! Or morning brews if you are anything like me.I love to make this dessert on Sunday and then have a piece in the morning throughout the week. That is if I can manage not to eat it all the first day! It is delicious and just plain amazing!

Bake 350 for 40 minutes
Make sure while you are baking that you watch the edges so that they don’t get too browned. I love biting into the cake and enjoying the sugary experience of baked cinnamon combining perfectly with the savory walnuts.
If this doesn’t make your mouth water looking at the pictures, just wait until it is cooking in the oven. I might make this dish just simply because I love how it makes the house smell. This will make the perfect snack for any brunch or if you want to wow your family. Then again you could always just make it for a party of one and keep all the goodness to yourself, because if you want to spoil someone you may as well spoil yourself! 
I recommend spoiling yourself and your loved ones these coming days. I hope the transition back to reality after the holiday weekend wasn’t too brutal. I hope this will make the week a bit more tolerable or make this coming weekend seem a little bit more like its own little holiday! Have a great week from Pot of Gold, and remember to comment, like, and subscribe. Remember that good friends share good food, brighten someones week by letting them know about this DELICIOUS Coffee Cake.
