An easy old-fashioned cinnamon sugar coffee cake made with fresh buttermilk, eggs, and butter and sprinkled with a cinnamon sugar topping. Serve this cake for breakfast or brunch with a spoonful of caramel sauce on the side.
This is a quick and easy recipe for brunch or breakfast with only about 15 minutes prep time and 30 minutes baking time. The cake turns out moist and soft because of the buttermilk and the cinnamon sugar topping gets slightly crunchy when baked in the oven.
Who will turn down a bit of caramel sauce? Not too many! Serve with a spoon of vanilla sauce or caramel sauce on the side and a cup of good rich coffee for a satisfying indulgence. If you can find a jar of vanilla sauce that would be equally as tasty as the caramel sauce. You can also serve this as an easy dessert.
