Spicy cake for the coffee break

Chef’s Handyman Hummingbird Coffee Cake. Gingerbread spice and cardamom with a pinch of cinnamon are the soul warmers in winter. As soon as the oven door opens, a comforting fragrance wafts through the house. This is exactly the scent that belongs to the cold Christmas season. So delightful.

Spice cakes go well with the cold winter days. After a long walk, I always crave a cup of coffee or tea. Guests love the Hummingbird coffee cake more than anything. It’s quick to prepare and tastes even better the next day.
