Almond Poppyseed Bread

This almond poppyseed bread from The Girl Who Ate Everything is a very simple, standard, classic recipe.  At first glance, there is nothing special about it. Until you get to the glaze.

If you are a pumpkin lover, quick! Avert your eyes.  Don’t look at this recipe because once you do, you’ll want to make it, and once you make it, you won’t be able to stop eating it. Sweet, pumpkin cake, drizzled and swirled with sweet, buttery cinnamon and sugar, and topped with a creamy glaze.… Continue reading Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll Coffee Cake
