I've been making this coffee cake for 30 years! It's always been a family and friend favorite. There won't be any leftovers.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This delicate coffee cake will take you back to your childhood. The cake is tender and fluffy with a buttery flavor. There's a warm spice taste from the cinnamon in the crumbly and crunchy topping. Adding pecans is a wonderful treat. A must-try for breakfast or a snack.
