Description

Made this early this morning it's called a "Cinnamon Roll Casserole", actually it's a little bit healthy for it has nuts and eggs in it. I've always love to bake, ever since I was a young girl growing up on a Wisconsin farm. Did a lot of baking then! Now, just once in a while!

This type of cake has been around for centuries with each country having their own variation. The American versions have a delicious streusel topping and seem to have mainly originated from Germany. No matter the recipe what they all had in common was being served alongside warm cup of coffee.

German women brought the concept of the kaffeeklatsch to America. Contemporary coffee cakes in the US rarely contain coffee. Most are simple, singularly flavoured cakes that feature fruit, spices, or nuts. They may also feature a streusel or simple glaze topping, if any. Streusel is German for "sprinkle" or "strew" and refers to the popular crumbly topping of butter, flour, sugar.
