CINNAMON-PECAN COFFEE CAKES
With their decorative cinnamon swirls, these lovely braids taste as good as they look! And their aroma while baking will make your mouth water. For a holiday touch, you could decorate the drizzle of icing with pecans and candied cherries. -Vick Holloway, Joelton, Tennessee
