The Best Cinnamon Coffee Cake Recipe EVER
There’s plenty of cinnamon-sugar in this cake and I’m not complaining, nor did anyone in my family when they tried it. First, there’s a ribbon of cinnamon-sugar swirled through the center of the cake. Not only is it eye-catching and pretty, it tastes damn good too. Second, the outside of the cake has a cinnamon-sugar crust, which is accomplished simply by adding cinnamon-sugar to a cooking-sprayed Bundt pan and rolling it around. Why grease and flour a pan when you can cinnamon-sugar it instead? It’s a fast, easy, and an unfussy kind of cake that comes together in minutes — the only kind I make. The bundt cinnamon swirled coffee cake is soft, fluffy, and isn’t heavy or overly dense. Serve this coffee cake at the next brunch you’re hosting, enjoy it with your morning cup of coffee, or have a piece as an afternoon pick-me-up cup. There’s never a wrong time to enjoy coffee + cake.

How to Tell When Coffee Cake Is Done
Since all ovens, pans, climates, etc. are different, I recommend starting to check on the cake at the 30- to 35-minute mark, and keep a close eye on it from there until it’s done; don’t overbake or your homemade coffee cake will be dry. Watch your cinnamon swirl cake and not the clock and if it takes a bit less or longer for your cake to be sufficiently baked than my baking time estimates, do what is needed for your cake.
