Kate Smith Coffee Cake

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 15 min. Bake: 20 min. YIELD: 6 servings.
When I lived in an orphanage more than 50 years ago, I helped out in the kitchen, often making this wonderful coffee cake and dutifully following the recipe the cooks used. Years later, seeing Kate Smith on television, I realized that I had been making one of the singer's own favorite recipes from her cookbook! —Ruth Nast, Waterford, Connecticut
