I just looked at the calendar and realized that Easter is is right around the corner. Is it me or does it seem to get here earlier each year? This will be the second year that we won't be celebrating with family and that makes me really sad because I feel like the longer this virus continues, these family traditions are going to go by the wayside. I sure hope I'm wrong though. All I know is I am so ready for life to return to how it was before. Even though I won't have to prepare a big family meal, I can't let the holiday slide without a little something special on the table this year. We're having false spring right now and that has me in the mood for citrus flavored treats. So, I thought not only would this Orange Walnut Coffee Cake from Golden Blossom Honey help usher in real spring soon (at least I hope it's soon!), but would also make a lovely addition to any Easter breakfast, lunch or dinner spreads, too. 

 

 

I usually make my coffee cakes with a cinnamon crumb topping, but thought the walnut topping was an amazing change of pace for me. It added a fantastic amount of texture to the cake that usually isn't there. This is a very simple coffee cake to toss together, but will be a show stopper on the holiday table. While the recipe didn't call for it, you can dress up the top of each cake square with dried orange slices, berries, or sprigs of mint, but it's not necessary unless it's something that you want to do. Pair it with your favorite milk, tea or coffee and it will be a recipe you return to again and again all spring and summer long.
