german coffee cake
This is my family's favorite coffee cake recipe. It is a Christmas morning tradition. Even during the picky years with my son, he'd ask for this recipe to be made. I was given the recipe nearly 30 years ago. This recipe is so good, even the paper it was written on was tasty. One of my dogs found the well-loved page and ate part of it. I figured I should get it typed someplace where the dogs couldn't destroy it completely. I'd be lost without it.
