- Overnight Coffee Cake -

This is probably the best coffee cake recipe there is! My whole family loves it! It's great for home, an early morning breakfeast, Sunday School, taking a piece to work, and much more! It's also made the night before, so all you have to do, is stick it in the oven! Let us know if you try it and what you think of it!
