This recipe for Any Fruit Coffee Cake first appeared in BH & G magazine in the September 1981 issue. I still have that magazine and the recipe. What you show here is only a 1/2 recipe for this cake. This cake also makes 1 9 x 13 in baking pan or 2-8 in baking pans. And you can use any fruit in this recipe. I have used this recipe many times and I would rate this cake as a 5 star
