The BEST Vegan Coffee Cake recipe ever! With vanilla, cinnamon, and topped with a delicious easy crumble you can’t go wrong!
Is there anything better than a cake that is topped with a cinnamon streusel? I don’t think there is. I seriously can’t get enough of this, and no one even believed me when I told them that this recipe is vegan – woohoo! When I was a child I never ever wanted to try a coffee cake because I thought coffee was so gross, and I would not listen to any one that told me that this cake is not coffee flavored, that is just it’s name. Well, I should have listened. I could have had so many more years enjoying this delicious cinnamon-y and vanilla flavored cake. Oh well, I guess I just have to catch up now!
