Christmas Morning Breakfast Cake from Vicki Delany #Christmas

Cake isn’t usually considered a breakfast food, but come on – it’s Christmas.  Actually, this lovely little cake isn’t much different than a banana and nut muffin, not too sweet for breakfast, and it would look lovely on your holiday table.

It’s quite small – baked in a six-inch round pan - compared to most cakes, so will leave plenty of room for the feast still to come.
