A slice of warm, moist, cinnamony coffee cake checks all the boxes; fluffy vanilla cake with ribbons of cinnamon sugar topped with a sweet crumble. Just … yum.
We took the traditional coffee cake recipe and turned it into a rich, decadent dessert that you can eat every single day.
Snickerdoodle Shakeology is the key to elevating coffee cake — an occasional treat — into a superfood powerhouse dessert.
This recipe also swaps sour cream for cottage cheese, which helps create that yummy, creamy moist cake, while chopped pecans add nutty crunch.
