Overnight Cinnamon Coffee Cake


Overnight Cinnamon Coffee Cake -- A Pinch of Joy

Sister Kay introduced  the  family to Overnight Coffee Cake at a family reunion two or three years ago.  Crusty cinnamon  sugar atop a light  sweet dough – sooo good.   She shared the recipe which is still in my to do file.  This weekend we were at sister Vee’s home and were awakened with  the wonderful aroma of baking bread and cinnamon.

Vee graciously allowed me to take a picture of the coffee cake to share with you.  Well, actually I said good morning, saw the pan setting on the table,  grabbed a plate from the cupboard, my camera from the bedroom and went out to the front porch to take a picture.   Wheels and Bytes are used to having perfectly good food snatched right out from in front of them for a photo session.  Apparently that’s not the norm in every family!   But they just laughed at me and gave me a place at the table anyway.

    You might even like variations– I bake it in large sheet cake pans with raisins scattered and slightly poked into dough just after spreading dough into pan & before the topping on a section, scatter coconut with topping on another section, add nuts under and in topping for another section. One pan lots of choices and some even enjoy the edges on sections where items combine.
