Coffee Cake

We have brunch on Christmas morning at my house and last year this was the favorite. If you have trouble getting your family up on Christmas morning, the smell of baking cinnamon is sure to have them jumping out of bed.

This also makes for a delicious treat for brunch any time of the year or for dessert! Who can resist cinnamon?
