My Sundays are usually spent with minimal activity – Lazy walks in the woods and a cup of tea while watching a chick flick is as wild as it gets. But spending the day in the kitchen baking is also an all-time Sunday favorite. Serving and sharing a delicious Cake with a glass of ice-cold milk really brings the family together and pushes coziness and happiness to a higher level.
You can use this Coffe Cake recipe to make cupcakes, any kind of small cakes or even make one large one in a baking pan. It is up to you and your needs.
I made few cupcakes and few square mini cakes, just to mix it up a little. And to add some festive spring mood I decorated the cakes with simple flags made of colorful masking tape. Have a lovely Sunday ya’ll ♡
