Birthday Coffee Cake 🎂

More ways to celebrate our Recipe of the Year [logo]( [hero]( A very happy (birthday) cake Dear bakers, Ten years ago the bakers at King Arthur plucked a ridiculously simple-yet-delicious [chocolate cake]( from the archives and crowned it the Recipe of the Year: the recipe we thought you should put on repeat for the next twelve months. Like that, a tradition was born, and [we've released a Recipe of the Year every year since](. Last week I introduced you to the 2023 Recipe of the Year, an incredible reverse-creamed coffee cake, and mentioned that we're releasing 10 versions, one to commemorate each year of [Recipe of the Year](. Today I want to draw your attention to what is probably the most celebratory of those versions: [Birthday Coffee Cake](. This riff has some key differences from the classic Cinnamon-Crisp recipe. First, there's a dose of [almond extract]( to give it a classic birthday cake flavor. Second, there are sprinkles in the cake, in the crumbs, and more scattered on top, giving the cake all the celebratory vibes. (I love our colorful [Supernatural Rainbow Pop Sprinkles]( for this.) That said, you don't have to wait until a birthday rolls around to bake this cake. Bake it to celebrate literally anything. A new job. A friend coming to town. The fact that you made it through another week! Make it often and make it soon — there are nine other coffee cake varieties to bake before the year is done.
