This coffeecake was absolutely divine on both flavor and texture. It definitely deserves at least 5-star.

From across Northern Italy there are many variations. A rich broth, juicy Italian tomatoes and rich herb simmered for a long time. I used a mixture of sliced mushrooms from my local supermarket and dried lobster, oyster and shitake mushrooms. Then used the mushroom juice in place of chicken broth. Outstanding reduction of rich comfort flavors.

A spicy, flavorful hot drink for Wintertime.

This recipe would have been 5 stars without the sliced sun-dried tomatoes. The tomatoes dominated the flavor of the sauce so much that it didn't allow the mushrooms to shine through. My wife liked it, but I noticed she was picking out the tomatoes too.

I cut the recipe in half and made 24 mini muffins, which baked in 12 minutes. I also took the liberty of adding a pinch of ground cinnamon and 1/4 tsp. of vanilla extract.

This recipe is awesome! The bread was nice and moist, not dry at all and absolutely delicious! I baked a loaf for our Church Sunday Potluck and everyone loved it, I had none left over and several asked for the recipe! Five Stars from my family, we loved it.

Quick and easy to make, and they taste great.
