I'm a huge, huge fan of Fruity Pebbles so I had to put together a Fruity Pebbles Coffee Cake. Who isn't a fan, those colors draw me in. Not to mention, the milk after you've ate all the fruity pebbles? Oh my goodness. Heaven. I think the best part of this coffee cake is the soft middle where the coffee cake and cake meet. I can eat that all day long.

This isn't my first time around making a Fruity Pebbles treat. You HAVE to check out my fruity pebbles french macarons. They're so gorgeous. Looking at the pictures of them just makes my heart happy.

Fruity Pebbles Coffee Cake

So, I started this recipe by filling a bowl with cereal and buttermilk. For a minute I thought about sitting down and eating it, but I stayed strong. Besides, buttermilk isn't my ideal breakfast milk. I let it set until my milk was pink and full of flavor. I initially was going to strain out the cereal, but I think leaving it adds flavor and nice bits of color to the cake. It breaks apart beautifully when it's mixed into the cake.

I have always been the kind of lady that would rather eat the crumb and leave the cake, but this is an exception. The cake is so moist and fruity. I love how it has the appearance of a confetti cake. Friends, those are not sprinkles, but cereal. Cool, right?
