This is the best coffee cake I’ve ever made or eaten. I have never found a cake that compares. It’s easy to whip up and the leftovers are good enough to nibble on throughout the day. I know this came out of one of my mom’s cookbooks, but I don’t know which one. All I know is Aunt Gladys had a heck of a recipe. As a kid I had tea and now it’s even better with the perfect cup of coffee.
