Coffee Cake

The sweet aroma flowing through my house right now is a delicious coffee cake baking in the oven.  My husband called me from work yesterday and asked me to send the recipe to his friend stationed in Belgium.  I love sharing my recipes ... especially this one, which is my mom's most famous and highly requested in her repertoire.  This yummy cake is very easy to make and always comes out perfect.  Enjoy!
