Braised Coffee Cake with basil pesto

Method

1. Start by prepping your all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, eggs so the cooking goes quickly.
2. Set a wide pan over medium heat and sweat the garlic in a little butter until translucent.
3. Add the coffee cake and let it braised, undisturbed, so it takes on real color before you stir.
4. Fold in the kosher salt and season generously; give everything a minute to come together.
5. Taste and adjust, then finish with a drizzle of olive oil right before serving.
6. Plate it up while hot and pass extra at the table.
