Cinnamon Walnut Coffee Cake

Coffee Cakes are one of my favourite cakes to bake because they are not too sweet and make for a perfect snack at anytime of the day. Still warm on a rainy day with a cup of coffee.....delicious! Here is a recipe from Nigellas KITCHEN- I substituted pecans with walnuts and toasted them for some extra crunch and flavour.

Make the filling for the cake by mixing together flour, butter and cinnamon and adding walnuts when the mixture looks like crumble.
