It’s Friday! I have to say that it’s been one of those weeks where the days have kind of blurred together. Between a nasty cold that won’t leave and a busy schedule, this week has turned into one long day.
But I know that today is Friday. And I know that I can’t wait to sleep in tomorrow! I also know that I’m looking forward to a leisurely morning that involves at least one piece of this peaches and cream cheese coffee cake!
As soon as I made it, I knew that I shouldn’t wait to share it. Tender, moist cake is topped with a layer of creamy cheesecake and sweet peaches.
While all of that would make for a delicious coffee cake all by itself, crumbly streusel and a cream cheese glaze top it off to make it irresistible.
Since peaches are so abundant right now, make sure to grab a few extra for this coffee cake. You won’t be disappointed.
Then you can sit down, relax, enjoy a piece of coffee cake, and not care about what day it is!
