Family Favorite Apricot Prune Coffee Cake!

Apricot prune coffee cake. Don’t let the name fool you! Its truly my favorite. This cake is so moist with the perfect crumb. Did I mention those ooey gooey brown sugary bits? I could hardly wait for this one to bake let alone cool down.

This tried and true recipe comes from my wonderful mother in law and as you have seen; she really does have the best recipes. I’ve had a number of people try it and they all agree it truly is delicious.

This apricot prune coffee cake is my absolute favorite and seriously the best coffee cake I have ever had hands down. Ever! I can’t say enough about it. The deep flavor of the prunes balance the tartness of the apricot perfectly. Don’t even get me started on the brown sugar cinnamon bits. So Good.
