I have made over a 100 of these over the last three years. Rave reviews from the Grand kiddies.
The original recipe calls for a walnut filling and topping, didn't go over well with my audience.
With some sprinkles of green, purple and yellow sugar, that would make a great quick-bread version of King Cake!
I can attest that THAT is the Best. Coffee. Cake. Recipe. Ever. EVER!
Been making it since the 80’s!
I don't think this is exactly a coffee cake, but this one is at the top of the stack to make tomorrow and, instead of milk, I could use the rest of my creme fraiche and some sour cream. My daughter has a couple apples to spare I need for it and which I am waiting for:
Your chicken and stuffing sound wonderful. I like to roast a whole chicken and use the drippings for gravy on my mashed potatoes. I never saw your brand of stuffing mix.
I don't have any at the moment, but when my bread starts getting too old (now they put stuff in it to preserve it longer unless you buy fresh-baked) I get my cookie racks out and dry the bread. Then it will keep for months, and I can use it for stuffing and other uses.
I'm leery of eating bread with so much preservatives in it. If it's too old, I don't want to eat it even though there are no signs of mold on it.
I’m going to try this over the weekend. Thanks!
