Bake the Book: Cinnamon-Sugar Coffee Cake

Prefacing the word cake with the word coffee makes it socially acceptable to eat dessert for breakfast, and that's a beautiful thing. And this Cinnamon-Sugar Coffee Cake from Warren Brown's CakeLove in the Morning is a prime example of the beauty of eating cake for breakfast.
The cinnamon and sugar flavors in this recipe are fairly standard coffee cake territory but the addition of candied ginger in the cake and a pinch of allspice in the glaze give this cake a bit of pizzazz and an ever so slight spiciness that will have you shaving off slice after slice—even after breakfast is over.
