For real, this is the best coffee cake I’ve ever made. I love coffee cake because it comes together so quickly and makes for a lovely weekend breakfast. I made a huge pan of this and had enough for the husband and me, as well as to take leftovers to my parents and my office-mates. It’s imperative that you sprinkle almonds over the top because it makes it so pretty. This coffee cake cuts into nice little squares which makes it really easy to eat with your hands while you sip coffee and read the newspaper. And by read the newspaper I mean check Facebook on your phone. Let’s be realistic, right? If you, like me, made it more than a quarter century without trying dates, now is your chance to remedy that problem. They taste like little pockets of honey and are absolutely delicious. The base is made with non-fat Greek yogurt, so it’s really moist but not loaded down with fat. Ready to put on your apron (or manly equivalent?) and get baking?
