Drizzle a coffee glaze on top for the ultimate sweet-and-bitter flavor combo. It’s dessert pretending to be breakfast, and we’re here for it. Slice it up for brunch, tea time, or just because life is short. You’ll want seconds, and no one’s judging. This loaf is proof that sometimes, you can have your caffeine and eat it too.
