Irish Coffee Cake
In honor of the small bit of Irish in my family I thought I’d give you a few out of the normal Irish recipes in honor of St. Patrick’s Day. This coffee cake is a great recipe.
To be honest these aren’t from my family. Apparently my family did not embrace the Irish side that much, we were too busy cooking Italian food! But I found recipes online last week and decided to give them a good test over the weekend. This one was tasty and would work well for breakfast.
When it’s finished it’s rather dense – so a small slice is a good size serving. I decided to leave the measurements in metric because I was too lazy to convert to American measurements. I always recommend having a digital scale in the kitchen for this very reason.
