And what's a coffee cake without a cloud-like frosting? With its tangy and velvety texture, this cream cheese frosting is the ideal companion to balance the robust coffee flavors. The pockets of toasted walnuts nestled between each layer provide a delightful contrast of textures, adding a nutty dimension that will leave you craving for more.
