Thank you, thank you, thank you so much for putting this recipe up here. I used to make this cake about 25 years ago and was very popular among family and friends back then, my son (now 29) has been asking me for years to make this, but alas I had lost the recipe. So now when my children come to visit thanks to you I can serve them their favourite cake.

This is just delicious, moist and amazing. I strongly recommend it to everyone! I've made it twice now and it was equally wonderful both times. Thank you Ninna for this wonderful coffee cake!
