10 Indulgent Breakfast Dishes

For all of you coffee drinkers, a dense coffee cake is a must. But be adventurous with your selection and dare to venture away from the typical cinnamon and sugar varieties. We love our cherry cream cheese version.

Top this powdered sugar pastry with seasonal fruits, or fold it over and stuff with a warm compote or chocolate.
