Mom's Divine Coffee Cake
"I got this recipe from mom, who got it out of an old cookbook, and decided to rename it "Mom's coffee cake" . In fact, she renamed everything "moms" if it was good!
Anyways, it is a great basic coffee cake, and can be made with or without the nuts. Impress your work friends, church group, or house guests. It is yummy, and tastes better the next day."

Great cake! Nice and fluffy and not too sweet. Thanks for sharing , will definitely make again! -
Divine is an understatement. This is the best $#!@%$ coffee cake we have had in YEARS! Do me a favor, <b>Chef Sweet Sal</b> and give your mother a hug from me! This recipe is going into my cookbook and will be made very often. Perfect level of moisture, wonderful crumb. Tender and flavorful without being overly sweet. I wouldn't change a thing.
