Hungarian Coffee Cake Loaf

Alovely coffee cake loaf with layers of a nut, raisin, brown sugar, cinnamon and cocoa filling in a tender vanilla loaf. This coffee cake loaf keeps for days on the counter!
This Hungarian coffee cake loaf is adapted from a Maida Heatter recipe called Budapest Coffee Cake. She makes it as a large bundt cake with a sweet icing sugar glaze. For my version, I’ve scaled the cake down to loaf size and skipped the glaze for longer and easier storage.
The resulting coffee cake loaf is just as delicious but in a format perfect for having on the counter to easily enjoy a slice with your morning or afternoon cuppa.
