Court Kitty kicked off this past weekend the best way he knew how
by staring intently at our doggie neighbor as she sunned herself in her backyard.
I also kicked off my Saturday the best way I knew how
By chugging a fresh apple/carrot juice from a place around the corner.
Predictably, the healthy drinking was followed by baking and two slices of this coffee cake found their way onto my plate for lunch. Another slice somehow ended up in front of me during dinner and, of course, I had to pair my iced coffee with coffee cake for breakfast the following morning.
Note: Roasted vegetables with a side of plum streusel coffee cake is not as disgusting as one might think.

Plums are so pretty right? Your cake is giving the plums a run for their money though… Looks great!
Plums are so underrated… this looks fantastic!
YUM! This looks so delicious!
I am sorry I haven’t stopped by one of my favorite blogs in awhile! I put you on my Pinterest board, in the board called “blogs I love.” I try to keep up with reading everyone, but I am finding that difficult, LOL:-) Seriously this cake has me drooling! I love plums, but you don’t see enough fun recipes. The top of cake, OH MY WORD!!! Beautiful, Hugs, Terra
So I found this while browsing the web yesterday, to make for my mom’s friend’s birthday. She told me that it “didn’t really matter what you make, it’s only going to be me eating it. I just need something to stick a candle into.” So I thought, I would get the left overs, better make something good!
Came home that night, and only a piece was saved for me. Everyone loved it!
I am so glad to hear that it turned out well! Thank you so much for letting me know. Also a Happy Belated Birthday to your mom’s friend!

Nikki, so yummy! Thanks for helping to get the collection off to a good start. Cheers
I saw your link on Carole’s Chatter. Your coffee cake looks divine. And I have absolutely no objection to roasted vegetables with a side of plum streusel coffee cake, sounds delish.
Thank you for stopping by! If you can eat vegetables with cake, I think we can be great friends
