Easy Holiday Coffee Cake
Easy Holiday Coffee Cake is perfect for baking and sharing with your family, friends and neighbors! Plus a few great kitchen gift ideas for Christmas from Wayfair! This is a sponsored post on behalf of Wayfair.
I’ve got an incredibly easy recipe for you today that is perfect to bake for your neighbors, family and friends. I started with a butter cake mix and added in some holiday cheer (AKA egg nog), grated apples and some tasty walnuts. This cake is so moist and delicious, it will seem that you spent hours in the kitchen, but actually it’s really simple and easy!
As busy as life is for all of us, I know that this simple and delicious dessert is going to be your new favorite. It’s been a while since I had baked a cake and my guys went crazy for this! It was gone in the blink of an eye. I will be making this again to nibble on Christmas morning.

What a fun way to incorporate a wish list – with a recipe! Teal certainly is the color of the year – Pantone got it wrong! 🙂
I put a wooden spoon set on my list too— so handy to have!!
My 20+ year old (and still kicking!!!) KitchenAid mixer is red, and over the years I’ve been given a matching red blender. toaster and coffee grinder.
Then KA introduced Tangerine. My favorite color. I want everything in Tangerine now. (Or Persimmon, which is also quite orange and lovely!)
