I hope everyone had a nice Christmas. I had a terrific holiday!! This year we went to the Columbus Zoo to see the Wildlights. These were the best Christmas lights I have ever seen.
I made this coffee cake for breakfast this week since Billy and Cally are home. Cally said it is the best Coffee Cake she has ever had. This is my favorite Coffee Cake. It is real similar to the Bisquick Coffee Cake. I used salted butter in mine and when it was done you could definitely taste a sweet salty butter taste to it.
