The perfect side for your pumpkin spice latte. This Pumpkin Spice Coffee Cake is full of fall flavor and easy to make.
Why Call it Coffee Cake
My kids wondered why I was serving them something with coffee in it. We got into a discussion on why it's called coffee cake even though no coffee is in the cake. The answer was pretty simple it's a sweet cake that is eaten with coffee on the side. In my option, this Pumpkin Spice Coffee Cake goes perfectly with a Pumpkin Spice Latte.
