About the Recipe
A favorite amongst those in the know, this Drake’s Coffee Cake imitation is as close to the real thing as you can get. Soft light and fluffy with little nuggets of crumble on top. Just like it is explained in the show it’s “the plain cake with the sweet brown crumbs on the top”. Even better you probably have all the ingredients you need to create them now.
