Today is National Peanut Butter and Jelly Day! PB & J was one of my favorite sandwiches as a kid and it still is. Whole wheat bread, creamy peanut butter, and sweet jelly or jam-classic comfort food! I never get tired of a good PB & J. To celebrate this fine holiday, I will be eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for lunch, but I also made you a special treat, a Peanut Butter and Jelly Coffee Cake. This cake tastes like a PB & J sandwich, but in cake form. Oh yeah!
This cake is easy to make and I bet you have all of the ingredients in your kitchen. There is peanut butter in the cake and in the peanut butter streusel topping. I used creamy peanut butter to make the cake and crunchy peanut butter for the streusel topping because I wanted a little extra crunch. This cake is meant for peanut butter fanatics-like myself:)
The cake is tender and moist with a sweet tunnel of jelly in the middle. I used grape jelly to stick with tradition, but use whatever jelly or jam you like. The cake tastes just like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, but in dessert form. The peanut butter streusel topping is out of this world and adds a nice crunch to the cake.
Since this is a coffee cake it is perfectly acceptable to have a big fat slice for breakfast. And since it is a PB & J cake it is also perfectly acceptable to eat it for lunch:) Wash it down with a cold glass of milk and you are set! This Peanut Butter and Jelly Coffee Cake is the perfect way to celebrate National Peanut Butter and Jelly Day! Grab a jar of peanut butter and your favorite jelly and get baking!
