Glazed Chai Streusel Coffee Cake
The streusel topping is made with quick cooking oats, giving it a brown sugar oatmeal cookie-like texture and flavor, and it might be my favorite thing I've ever created. A slice of this cake served warm with your favorite cup of coffee is sure to give you all the best fall vibes.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a 9-inch cake pan with parchment paper. I used a large piece of parchment paper, leaving the edges sticking out for easy removal.
