The Joys of Boston Coffee Cake
Moist, buttery and full of cinnamon, it’s hard to beat an old-fashioned coffee cake.
It’s a good day when cake arrives in the mail unexpectedly.
I have friend and loyal Food Gal reader Abby to thank for the sugary surprise that arrived on my doorstep last week.
Having spent a summer in Boston interning at The Globe many years ago, I was quite familiar with Boston cream pie, which of course, is not pie at all, but custard-filled cake smothered in chocolate glaze.
But Boston Coffee Cake was new to me. And it is indeed cake.
