Blue Ribbon Coffee Cake Farmhouse Style In The Midwest


Lots of streusel filling makes cutting a bit messy, but that will be of little consequence once you've had your first bite! this tastes great upon first baking and even better the next day, plan ahead, then. use a buttered rubber spatula for spreading the batter, as it is quite sticky (get your fingers into the action, too!)! . clipped this one from midwest living's august '09 issue--i think that means it's been properly aged, and now ready for filing here on zaar!!
