"All the features of a traditional coffee cake -- tender cake base, crumbly streusel top, and simple milk and sugar glaze -- are packed into portable single-size portions. Try serving them for brunch or as an after-school snack." - MarthaOMG! These are so yummy! My kiddos and family devoured them so quickly; I almost didn't get a picture of them! Have you ever just thought that sometimes the coffee cake you are eating is a bit dry? But the streusel on top makes it taste all the better; so you eat the tops off and then what's left is the somewhat dry cake? Well, that's what I usually think (perhaps its just that I really like the streusel topping with the glaze on it.) But I must tell you that these cupcakes are so fluffy and tasty that you will never think about dry streusel cakes again!
I made muffin tops for this recipe but I also made one full-sized cupcake just to be sure of my findings. Not only are the shallow streusel-topped cupcakes superb but the full-cupped cake is just as pleasant to munch as well. These would be perfect for a brunch, a PTA meeting or even if you are hosting an at-home sales party. Easy to make, easy to store, VERY easy to eat!
This is definitely one of the great recipes from the book. It was our bake for last week and I simply loved it! Good to know that they are other bakers who are diligently baking from Martha's Cupcakes book!
