Grandma Piggyback's Broiled CoffeeCake
"This very easy, excellent cake requires no butter in the batter, but yes cream, and it could not be more light and fluffy. But there’s butter in the topping, along with extra cream, which during broiling transforms into a cracked sugar glaze. Do not over-broil! Enjoy the simple rustic quality of the recipe, and the coffee cake itself...."
