Notes

To add some crunchiness to this cake, feel free to add chopped nuts in the batter (maximum of half cup of any nuts you prefer).
If you want to make this coffee cake in a cake tin, use 18cm cake tin to get the same cake heights as in the loaf pan.
Make sure the cake is completely cooled down before adding the frosting.
