Carrot Cake Coffee Cake with Candied Ginger Streusel

I love this flavor combination of carrot and ginger! They go so well together whether it’s in a juice, cocktail, salad, entree or in our case a sweet treat! There is something about this flavor combo that is bright and happy to me. Can a flavor be happy? I think so!

This coffee cake is dense without being too heavy and doesn’t dry out too quick which is key for deliciousness. The crumbly topping is so good and I love the candied ginger in it. Be sure to dice up the candied ginger to about 1/8-1/4 of an inch. This is perfect size for getting a little bit of the ginger flavor without it over powering the bite.

Let me know what you think about the carrot ginger flavor combo in the comments!
