Originally a contest winner, This recipe has been in our family for more than four generations. While various versions,and alternating ingredients, have been ventured, this is the original, and the best, for a moist, delicious, rich coffeecake! The glaze ( a later generation addition) is not needed, and I do not use one. The cake stands alone, whether for dessert, or with breakfast, or just with a cup of coffee. It has been a hit with everyone over the generations with whom we have shared it, and I hope you enjoy it too!

    Bake at 350 for 50-60 minutes until done. To cool, remove cake with the tube and bottom of the pan still attached and place on wire rack. After a few minutes, remove cake from tube bottom and finish cooling on rack. ( reinsert cake in pan then invert onto cooling rack, or place onto serving plate. Also, remove wax paper at this time if it was used.)
