This recipe has been pasted down for generations. My mom’s grandma made it for her as a child, and my grandma made it for us every Sunday morning. There are a lot of coffee cake recipes out there, but I have never had a coffee cake like this. Read more My great granny had some secrets to making it perfect, (always stir by hand, never measure the flour, secret ingredient “sour milk”, and lots of cinnamon and sugar). This coffee cake was always served in a bowl with coffee poured over the top. Even the children ate it this way and loved it. See less
