Cranberry Crumble Coffee Cake


This is one of my favorite coffee cake recipes! It is also a favorite among my family. With the Easter Holiday just around the bend, this cake is fancy enough to serve and impress your holiday guests.  I guarantee your guests and family will rave over the cranberry sauce swirled throughout the moist cake, as well as, the irresistible  crumble topping. My predictions are that it will disappear within a matter of minutes, just like Peter Cottontail delivering Easter Baskets!
