The other day my mom ask me if I still make coffee cake, something I used to make regularly. I realized it had been years now since I had made one. Well, that’s all the inspiration I needed to head off and make one. Since it’s fall time everyone is eating pumpkin and I went ahead and incorporated it. I created this pecan pumpkin coffee cake that is a perfect breakfast, especially if you have company.
