Real quick, here’s a delicious coffee cake I made up last night to take to a girlfriend brunch-and-clothing-swap. I’m taking this plus like 4 bags of clothes and shoes to pawn off on someone else. Man, I love clothing swaps. It feels really good to get rid of stuff.
It also feels good to share coffee cake with your friends. Try it!
