I love cooking and baking from the original 1950's version of Betty Crocker's Picture Cookbook. The little origin stories that come along with the recipes are so great to read and we're always pleasantly surprised how such simple ingredients can create delicious dishes. Erik and I were craving coffee cake and I decided to give the Streusel Filled Coffee Cake recipe a whirl and my goodness this has got to be the most wonderful and incredibly easy coffee cake ever! Try it out and let me know what you think!
Streusel Filled Coffee Cake:
