Reinvent Your Morning with Sweet Potato Coffee Cake!

I found a recipe for an acorn squash streusel cake and had very little of the ingredients on hand, so I used it as a base recipe–but changed it so much that it became an original. It is rich and flavorful, so a small piece is enough. It has a heavy texture that is nice. Let cool or eat warm with a cup of coffee.
