Coffee-Flavoured Crumble Cake

Is there a more fitting combo than coffee and cake? I don’t think so.

And it gets even better, because there’s also a crumble on top! I mean …

This coffee and crumble cake recipe is easy to make and will be the highlight of every afternoon tea.

Of course, best enjoyed with a cup of coffee and maybe a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Happy Baking!
