Pecan Streusel Coffee Cake: Because plain coffee cake wasn’t indulgent enough. This recipe ups the ante with a crunchy, buttery pecan streusel topping that promises to make you feel fancy. It’s the kind of cake that’s both breakfast and dessert, though, let’s be honest, it’s mostly dessert. The pecans add some “healthy” crunch (because who doesn’t need more nuts in their life?), while the soft cake base makes everything feel less sinful. Bake it, enjoy it, then pretend you’ve got the self-control to stop at just one slice. Spoiler alert: you won’t.
