This cake is inspired by the coffee cake I used to get at the Pannikin on Coast Highway 101 where I grew up in Encinitas (the north part of San Diego). That cake was INSANE and occasionally it comes to me in my dreams. I remember how it looked when I first saw it – buried in between sweet loaves, huge bran muffin tops, and palmiers. The coffee cake was staring at me, all fluffy, square, and with the best crumb on top. Coming out of the oven in the funky kitchen built inside of what used to be a train station, this cake makes you feel like you're that floating cartoon cat who passes by fresh pies on windowsills. This cake reminds me of my childhood and my Uncle Bill, it makes me feel like I'm home.

I made this coffee cake at first, adding fresh coffee whipped cream (not great for shipping hence pickup only) to the crumb top for a little more comfort, for a friend's housewarming gift. It was a special moment for my friends who just moved into a beautiful new place after building up their own business for 8 years in a tiny 3-bedroom apartment next to the subway in Bushwick. My friends loved it so much that I made a few more the weekend after and gave out little pieces in to-go containers to friends in a 4 block radius.
