Coffee Cake (Cinnamon Swirl)

I have no idea why this is called coffee cake.

It doesn't contain coffee.

It isn't even served with coffee.

I guess it could be... just never at our house.

Or anyone elses that I know of for that matter.

Truthfully, we make this for breakfast.

I like it topped with warm applesauce.
