Sunday Coffee Cake

Sunday Coffee Cake

I have never thought that writing about food is so difficult. But it is! After that few weeks of blogging I am out of vocabulary (nothing to be proud of) and my post are not long at all. I really hope that with time I’ll get better so please hang in there! I just bought new vocabulary book 😉

This cake for some reason is called Sunday Coffee Cake. I don’t know why, but definitely it is good on any other day of the week. Also it will get extra delicious when eaten with tea or coffee. Its crumbly texture just falls apart in the mouth and almonds add nice crunch to it. Try it!
